[Bug 54184] New: Tomcat 7.0.32, IE & javascript comments - number of dashes must be even

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54184

            Bug ID: 54184
           Summary: Tomcat 7.0.32, IE & javascript comments - number of
                    dashes must be even
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: bill.tomcat@beanfactory.co.uk
    Classification: Unclassified

see my blog entry
http://billcomer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/tomcat-7032-ie-javascript-comments.html
for more info.

essentially with IE on tomcat 7.0.32 if you have a javascript comment
with an uneven number of dashes then it fails.

IE these are bad

<%--- a comment with three dashes ---%>
<%----- a comment with three dashes -----%>

these are good

<%-- a comment with three dashes --%>
<%---- a comment with three dashes ----%>

Previous versions of tomcat - well 7.0.29 atleast and earlier were fine.

Swapping out the jasper jars fixes the issue

Quite agree Mark,

That was just me trying to work out where the issue was.

As an aside, swapping Jasper JAR files between version is not guaranteed to be
safe. If you do that, you are on your own.
