[4.1] Backport fix for 6058

Hi,

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6058

I'm proposing to port the fix for the (infamous) bug 6058 to Tomcat 
4.1.x. The obvious risk is that it may break existing environments, and 
could pose problems with vendors which embed Tomcat. OTOH, it makes jspc 
  generate the same package structure as the internal compiler, and 
makes the generated classes easier to work with and debug in IDEs (like 
Eclipse).

Comments ?

Remy

Well, actually, that should be ok. Since Jasper won't be able to find 
classes, it will just recompile them. There could be problems with IDE 
(Netbeans), but otherwise, it should only improve things.
Meybe I didn't consider every situation, though.

That makes sense.

I am OK with this. Anything that reduces the number of bug reports!

We will need a big note with the new release stating that
all java source and compiled classes in the work dir for JSP's will need to
be removed when upgrading.


Another related bug for IDE users is the following bug report:

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18462

We may want to apply the suggested patch which allows an attribute to
StandardServer to disable System.out and System.err redirection.

Regards,

Glenn
