Jasper does not recognize end tags with trailing spaces

           Summary: Jasper does not recognize end tags with trailing spaces
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Brian.Ewins@btinternet.com


Saw this in a JSP file, not confirmed with a JSP document (ie full XML) yet, 
but eg <custom:tag></custom:tag > will cause jasper to throw an exception that 
it has reached the end of parsing without finding a matching end tag, "possible 
nesting error?".

This may be a problem in the 3.x series as well - I eventually traced the 
problem using NetBeans 3.3 which IIRC uses tomcat 3.2.something as its JSP 
engine; similar errors came out there.

The particular spec this violates is the XML one, production 42, for end tags:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-ETag

Very minor as there is an obvious workaround (don't put whitespace in 
there :o) )
