Hello everybody,

please have a look at the following JSP/JSTL snippet:

<a href="<c:url value="action.jsp">
    <c:param name="param1" value="value1"/>
    <c:param name="param2" value="value2"/>
</c:url>">action</a>

When requested by an HTTP client, the following response is returned:

<a href="action.jsp?param1=value1&param2=value2">action</a>

Is this correct? I think the ampersand between the two parameters should be escaped, for example by using &amp;

To be sure, I created a test under http://schildbach.de/test-jstl-c-out.jsp

Please use the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/) and enter my test URL, and you will get the 6 errors I attached below.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it an error of the JSTL implementation?

I am using Tomcat 4.1.27, JDK 1.4.2 and JSTL 1.03

Regards,

Andreas Schildbach
