Are the following jsp-tags supported in tomcat ?

[Olaf Foellinger <ol...@pixelpark.com>]

Hi,

we've got the impression that the following jsp-tags are not supported
with tomcat

<jsp:directive.include file="..." />
<jsp:directive.page file="..." />
<jsp:declaration> ...</jsp:declaration>
<jsp:scriplet> ...</jsp:scriptlet>
<jsp:expression> ...</jsp:expression>

Is our observation rigth or our configuration wrong ?

Greetings Olaf

For Tomcat 3.1 and 3.2, your observation is correct ... none of the "XML
syntax" of a JSP page is accepted.  The old Tomcat 3.0 code accepted some
(but not all) of the XML syntax, and it incorrectly allowed you to mix XML
and JSP syntax in the same page -- this code was removed before 3.1 was
released.

Support for XML syntax is a high priority feature for Tomcat 4.0, which
will support the next versions of the Servlet and JSP specs (work can
begin once these specs enter "initial public draft" status).
