Sorry, but I have never done servlets, but you may try this for yourself. Create such a jsp page and access it, then go to tomcat/work and look for the corresponding .java file and study it.

In that case, I think Sun might be right ;-) As I said, I have never done servlets, the above is just what I suspected...
