Hey y'all,

We're trying to migrate a fairly large project from the .92
implementation of jsp to 1.0. In both cases, we are using the reference
implementation from Sun as our platform. However, in one very important
way, the new impl. is behaving differently than the old one, which will
definitely impact how long it takes us to accomplish this.

To wit: inside an expression tag, when the expression evaluates to null,
the *string* "null" is now being echoed to the page. For example, this
line in a jsp page:

   <input type="hidden" name="parmName" value='<%=
request.getParameter("someParameter") %>'>

gets returned thus to the client if the expression returns null (if, for
example, the page was called w.o. someParameter):

   <input type="hidden" name="parmName" value='null'>

This was definitely not how the old (.92) ref. impl behaved.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a bug or a feature? Or is it
implementation-specific behavior, and not a fallout of the new spec?
