Hi Rafael, I have difficulty to tell whether the meaning of the 1.1 spec is,
since it didn't
use the more familiar words like MUST or MAY to describe it. (and English is
not my
domain language.)
Orion 1.4.5 support almost all the other xml equivalent tags defined in the
spec such as
<jsp:directive>, <jsp:scriptlet>, and <jsp:expression>. But, as you pointed
out,
the xml equivalent tags cannot be mixed with the traditional jsp syntax in
the same file,
with means that the lack of support of one single tag will cause all the
rest of them
practically useless because it can't be substituted by the old fashion <%!
... %> alone.
I just wonder why the declaration tag has been "chosen" to be left alone
while the rest are
supported.
