Tomcat is not compliant with the JSP 1.2 specification.

           Summary: Tomcat is not compliant with the JSP 1.2 specification.
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: All
               URL: http://none.right.now
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper 2
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sopel@freebsd.hbz.pl


Hello,

As:
http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/1.2/syntaxref1210.html#15653
says:
The page directive applies to an entire JSP page and any of its static include 
files, which together are called a translation unit. A static include file is a 
file whose content becomes part of the calling JSP page. The page directive does 
not apply to any dynamic resources; see <jsp:include> for more information. 

Yet, if we have page a.jsp and page b.jsp, a.jsp being:
----- begin a.jsp
<%@ page pageEncoding="ISO-8859-2" contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-2"%>
<%@ include file="b.jsp"  %>
<some native chars (iso-8859-2)>
---- end a.jsp

and b.jsp being:
---- begin b.jsp
<some native chars (iso-8859-2)>
---- end b.jsp

The native chars in b.jsp ARE NOT displayed correctly (only the ones in a.jsp 
are displayed correctly).

I hope this is fixed once and for all in an upcoming tomcat release, please 
notify me of the fix.
