Is this really the feeling of the Tomcat group as a whole ..

What group is responsible for Jasper .. is that a separate group ?

If the home page says Tomcat is a reference implementation for JSP 1.2 then isn't the answer obvious ?

Do others in the Tomcat project agree with Brian's assessment ?

I guess I don't understand your POV .. are you saying that if it is Jasper .. you don't care ?

Seems to me that Tomcat w/o a functioning JSP compiler is next to useless .. or am I missing something ?

Well, that is a perspective I guess. I've used a servlet engine without JSP and have produced many working applications. I've used velocity, or cocoon, or just plain old servlets.

Remember, JSP API != Servlet API

From the Tomcat home page:

Servlet/JSP Spec 2.3/1.2

So IF Tomcat is a reference implementation of the servlet 2.3 api, then jasper is not included. IF Tomcat is a reference implementation of BOTH servlet 2.3 & JSP 1.2 API then the bug # 10949 MUST be fixed.

Personally, I want a Servlet engine that I can add modules for extra functionality.

All:

I am having trouble compiling jsp on 4.1.8 .. noticed the following in one of the logs .. any ideas ??

1. notice the javac errors with statements like: JspRuntimeLibrary.include(request, response, e.nextElement() , out, true);

Yep, this is bugzilla bug # 10949. Some day, someone will fix it. I take it that bugs get assigned a priority based on the number of complaints issued. Like, traffic lights get put in intersection only after someone has been killed.

I guess to be fair, 4.1.8 is only beta and it IS a Jasper bug. Tomcat works just fine.

2. also notice some warnings about single quote characters .. not sure if that is important ..
