Tomcat 3.1 vs Tomcat 3.2

[Stefan Håkans <st...@ibfs.com>]

Hello!
Two questions.

1.
>>From what I can tell the use of custom tags has changed from Tomcat 3.1 to
Tomcat 3.2
You can no longer specify any type of object as an attribute.
Is there anyway a custom tag can use a scripting variable from the page. (I
don't mean specify a scripting variable)
Example:
	In Tomcat 3.1 this worked fine:
		<x:mytag attrib="<%= scrptvar %>" />
	In Tomcat 3.2 'attrib' can't be of any class so I want to pass the
scripting variable's name
		<x:mytag attrib="scrptvarName" />

Can I, in the tag handler, find the scripting variable with the pageContext
object or something??

2.
Tomcat 3.2 starts doing a lot of full gc's as soon as I access the first
page in an application the first time.
This doesn't happen in Tomcat 3.1. I've tweaked my java1.3 by increasing
eden size but still...
Why?? Does i precompile or something?

/Thanks in advance

I think you are refering to the "Objects" and "Strings" issue.  A
clarificaiton has been in my todo list for a while, as they say "me
bad!".  Sorry, I am planning to bring up the issue to the JSP expert
group later today or tmorrow at the latest.
