comment mangles declaration

           Summary: comment mangles declaration
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.12
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jothomps@amis.com


The double slash (//) comment inside a <%! %> declaration of a jsp leads to
additional <%! %> declarations being commented out.

Example:
This code in the jsp file:
<%! //RowList p_info; %>
<%! RowList a_task; %>
<%! RowList o_task; %>

produces this code in the .java file:
//RowList p_info;  RowList a_task;  RowList o_task;

Thus, the a_task and o_task variables are undefined in later uses, and the
code will not compile (excerpt):

Tomcat 4.0.4 and 3.2.1 did not exhibit this behavior.  Other than that, I
cannot say when this bug may have been introduced.
