JSP 1.1 XML format tags

[Anne and Bill Moore <nz...@bellsouth.net>]

Does Tomcat support JSPs where the tags are coded in XML format as
specified in the JSP1.1 spec? I have tried Tomcat V3.1 and 3.2 beta 7
and they do not seem to recognize XML format tags.

Thanks for the clarification - it seems I was working from an old
version of the JSP1.1 spec or had not remebered it correctly - I just
checked the final release again and it has the following all important
sentences about XML tags:
"The JSP page to XML document mapping is not visible to JSP 1.1
containers; it will receive substantial emphasis in the next releases of
the JSP specification. Since the mapping has not received great usage,
we particularly encourage feedback in this area."

I am sure you knew this anyway - it certainly explains why its not in
Tomcat 3.x, but thanks again for the reply.

For Tomcat 3.x (JSP 1.1), the answer is no.

For Tomcat 4.0 (JSP 1.2), the answer is yes.
