getBodyContent() is not returning null when the action has only jsp:attribute actions within the body.

           Summary: getBodyContent() is not returning null when the action
                    has only jsp:attribute actions within the body.
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper2
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Ryan.Lubke@Sun.COM


JSP.5.11 states:

"If one or more jsp:attribute elements appear in the body of a tag invocation
but no jsp:body element appears, it is the equivalent of the tag having an empty
body"

Consider the following example using a tag handler that extends BodyTagSupport
and implements DynamicAttributes

<body:cemptybody>
    <jsp:attribute name="attr1">value1</jsp:attribute>
    <jsp:attribute name="attr2">value2</jsp:attribute>
</body:cemptybody>

The cemptybody action attempts to validate that a call to getBodyContent()
returns null.

Keep in mind that the javadocs state that setBodyContent() will not be invoked for 
an empty tag.
