JSP Document
Tomcat 4.1.27 on Win32 given
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jsp:root xmlns=http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page version="1.2">
<h1>Cat & Dog</h1>
</jsp:root>
Generates
<h1>Cat & Dog</h1>
Can anybody confirm that this is correct behaviour?
I can sort of see that it makes sense (JSP is for generating any character
stream...) but it does make a JSP Document look very odd.
Also, is it correct that <jsp:directive.include file="some jsp"/> should
not allow namespaces to be redelcared?
Sorry if both these things are clear in the spec. Ive read it but
dont feel much wiser.
Thanks
Sam

Other solution:
<...>
Cat <![CDATA[&]]> Dog
</...>
Especially handy when using large portions of "Normal" text

Can still produce valid XHTML by doing
Cat &amp; Dog
But double escaping is not very friendly. I like the fact that JSP
lets you generate any format HTML, XHTML, plain text and being
able to write templates in XML but this is a bit ugly.
Just want to check that it is meant to be this way before I learn
how it all works. Seems like they are sticking to "JSP generates
anything" since the JSP 2.0 syntax ${some.thing} doesnt escape
XML.
I think Ive spent too much time with XSL ;)

Actually I think it is, at least according to the HTML 4.01 Transitional.
These are character entities and must be entered with the 'escape'
character. These can assume a number or a character after the escape
character. The only character which in some browsers is not rendered
properly is the TM (trade mark) symbol, which doesn't have an 'escape'
character representation, but only a numeric one (&153;). In this scape the
form:
<sup><small>TM</small></sup>
is used. I can confirm also that the & is XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid.
Hope this will help,
Marco

Why did the "&" entity get changed to a plain "&" character? That's
not kosher with HTML-4.01 specs.

My reading of the JSP spec says that Tomcat is correct here. If you need to
preserve the escape, then follow Sjoerd's suggestion.
