Scripting variable is not generated

[Wei Zhao]

I am migrating some code from tomcat 4.* to 5.5.
However, I got some compilation error regarding the
scripting variable from taglib.

This is the definition of the scripting variable in
TEI file:

VariableInfo vSystemName = new VariableInfo(
"SystemName",
                "String",
                true,
                VariableInfo.AT_END
        );

This is how this tag is used in the JSP page:

If( some condition )
{
        <system:getSystemName/>
        <%=SystemName%>
}
else
{
        <system:getSystemName/>
        <%=SystemName%>
}

But a got a Java compilation error saying the second
SystemName cannot be resolved.
I looked into the generated java code and it seems
that only one SystemName is declared which is within
the “if” and not visible in the “else”.  If I
remove the “system:getSystemName” inside if,
“SystemName” is now declared inside “else”. 

This works differently from Tomcat 4.* which always
generate the declaration of the “SystemName” in
above case. And I don’t think it’s consistent with
the spec. The variable is defined as “AT_END”
scope and “declare” is set to true. So it should
always be declared or a lot of existing code will be
broken.

Any thoughts? Did I miss anything?

Thanks

Wei
