           Summary: Comments in scriptlets break subsequent sections
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper 2

        ReportedBy: jeff@socialchange.net.au


Hi,

I've just tried 4.1.3beta with Jasper2, and the following JSP breaks:

<%! static final boolean DEBUG=false; // a static field %>

<%! boolean func() {
    return true;
}
%>

The error is:

root cause 

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null

Generated servlet error:
/home/jeff/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.3-LE-jdk14/work/Standalone/localhost/wmc/jeff$jsp.java:11:
illegal start of type
        return true;
        ^
/home/jeff/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.3-LE-jdk14/work/Standalone/localhost/wmc/jeff$jsp.java:11: 
expected
        return true;



The java file starts like this:

package org.apache.jsp;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.jsp.*;
import org.apache.jasper.runtime.*;

public class jeff$jsp extends HttpJspBase {

 static final boolean DEBUG=false; // a static field  boolean func() {
    return true;
}


thanks,

--Jeff
