nested custom jsp tags not working?

           Summary: nested custom jsp tags not working?
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: benjamin_valentine@yahoo.com


I can not get the example for jsp templates (using a few custom jsp tags) at 
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javaserverpages/jsp_te
mplates/ to work on tomcat.  

The same code works as advertised in weblogic 6.1sp2.

The problem that i am seeing is that in the following code snippet, only the 
insert tag is executed.  It seems like the put tags are not executed at all.  
No errors are recieved.  I determined that the put tag is not being executed by 
inserting system outs in the doStartTag() method of the put TagSupport 
extension.

<template:insert template="/articleTemplate.jsp">
  <template:put ... />
  <template:put ... />
</template:insert>

The only thing that I wrote myself, besides a few basic hello world type jsps 
to display, is the following tld:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>	
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag 
Library 1.2//EN"	
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd">

<taglib>
	<tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
	<jsp-version>1.1</jsp-version>
	<short-name>template</short-name>
	<tag>
		<name>insert</name>
		<tag-class>com.bjv.tags.templates.InsertTag</tag-class>
		<body-content>tagdependent</body-content>
		<attribute>
			<name>template</name>
		</attribute>
	</tag>
	<tag>
		<name>put</name>
		<tag-class>com.bjv.tags.templates.PutTag</tag-class>
		<body-content>tagdependent</body-content>
		<attribute>
			<name>name</name>
		</attribute>
		<attribute>
			<name>content</name>
		</attribute>
		<attribute>
			<name>direct</name>
		</attribute>
	</tag>
	<tag>
		<name>get</name>
		<tag-class>com.bjv.tags.templates.GetTag</tag-class>
		<body-content>tagdependent</body-content>
		<attribute>
			<name>name</name>
		</attribute>
	</tag>
</taglib>

While I am not completely new to creating custom jsp tags, I have not done it 
much so I would not be suprised if the problem is in the tld listed above.  
Hopefully this is the case.  This tld does work in weblogic though.

Can someone tell me if Tomcat supports the jsp features used in this example or 
not?

Thanks,
Ben
