Careful. My reading of the spec is that JSP 1.0 engines are not required to
accept the <jsp:scriptlet> form of the <% tag. (See the last paragraph of
section 3.1.) This is described as part of the XML format, for which
support is not required. By the same logic, even if they do support XML
format engines need not recognize this tag form in a non-XML format
document.
Because I could be wrong and probably a lot of people are going to make the
assumption you did, I'm copying jsp-comments to invite clarification.

But you can easily replace the processRequest functionality with the following:
<jsp:useBean id='login' class='com.caucho.login.Login' scope='session'>
<% login.processRequest() %>
</jsp:useBean>
Or you can use <jsp:scriptlet>login.processRequest()</jsp:scriptlet> if you hate
the special tags.
The old processRequest was a gross hack. It should remain dead.
