--- Comment #4 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> 2012-01-20 11:38:35 UTC --- The text of the JSP specification doesn't include any details on how TLDs should be parsed. I can see where you are coming from with that chain of references but the meaning of those is that listeners defined in TLDs are equivalent to listeners defined in web.xml. There is, however, a definitive answer if one looks at the Java EE XSDs. Listeners in TLDs are of type javaee:listenerType javaee:listenerType contains a listener-class of type javaee:fully-qualified-classType javaee:fully-qualified-classType has a base type of javaee:string The definition of javaee:string requires that leading and trailing white space is removed. Therefore, the correct behaviour is to remove the leading and trailing white space. It looks like this may affect many more elements than just the listeners. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
