Re: <% ... %> and html output method

["Steve Muench" <smuench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

| When I use XSLT with the html output method, often I'm actually producing

| really is necessary for directives as well as script snippets.

This isn't true. JSP 1.0 defines XML-friendly equivalents of
every non-XML-friendly syntax like: <%=, <%, etc.

<jsp:directive.xxx>
<jsp:scriptlet>
<jsp:expression>
etc.

See Section 5 "JSP Pages as XML Documents"
in the PDF version of the JSP 1.0 spec at:

http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html

For more specifics.

Using these is it totally possible with JSP 1.0
to build a JSP page which is well-formed XML.

I know for sure that the Oracle JSP 1.0 Reference
Implementation supports both the shortcut-style
syntax as well as the XML-savvy syntax.
