Bug ID: 54801 Summary: EL-like expressions in jsp:scriptlet break compilation of tag files using XML syntax Product: Tomcat 7 Version: 7.0.39 Hardware: PC OS: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Jasper Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: knst.koli...@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Created attachment 30152 --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=30152&action=edit helloWorld.tagx Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to webapps\examples\WEB-INF\tags\ 2. Delete "helloWorld.tag" file and put there "helloWorld.tagx" file attached to this issue. The file contains the following plus AL header: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0"> <jsp:scriptlet><![CDATA[// // ${foo} out.println("Hello, world!!"); ]]></jsp:scriptlet> </jsp:root> 3. Start Tomcat and try to open the following page in a browser: http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/jsp2/tagfiles/hello.jsp ACTUAL result: in current TC8 trunk: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Body of scriptlet element must not contain any XML elements org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspDocumentParser.checkScriptingBody(JspDocumentParser.java:1332) org.apache.jasper.compiler.JspDocumentParser.endElement(JspDocumentParser.java:650) This behaviour is caused by "${foo}" being present inside the scriptlet. If I remove that line, the page is displayed successfully. EXPECTED RESULT I think EL expressions should not be recognized inside of jsp:scriptlet, jsp:declaration or jsp:expression and should not trigger such an error. As a confirmation, the following "helloWorld.tag" in JSP syntax compiles and executes successfully. Thus this issue is with XML syntax only, <% // ${foo} %> Hello, world!++ Alternative solution could be to change the error message, but I think it is not the issue here, s/ any XML elements / any XML elements or EL expressions/ -- 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
