Gee-whiz, JRun's takin' a beatin' today. I feel compelled to defend it.
But I can also relate to the frustration of having to deal with bugs since
it affects me pretty directly in support. ;-)
Give JRun 2.3.x a break. It's been around since late 1998. JRun 2.3.3 was
released in August/September 1999. JRun 3.0 came out last week.
JRun 2.3.3, build 157 fixes all your JSP/HTML problems. The only
work-around required is that you have to set the default contentType
yourself using a page directive (and this only if you use non-alphanumeric
chars like the copyright symbol). That and JavaScript parser fixes in build
157 account for all mysterious parser and character problems. This has all
been fixed in JRun 3.0.
JRun 3 works more or less? Bugs in the config? Such as? I beg to differ.
While no software product is perfect, I'd stand by JRun 3.0 as a solid,
fast, highly scalable JSP/servlet container any day. I've used other
JSP/servlet engines too. JRun rocks!

Subject: Re: Jrun won't display html code.
We have been having this sort of problem with JRun as well. Bet if you look
in the error log you'll see a load of JSP compile exceptions...
Here's my experience of JRun so far:
2.3 won't parse Javascript properly
2.3.3 sometimes won't even parse straight html properly
3.0 seems to work with what we have more or less, but there are bugs in
the config stuff and it is necessary to edit the config by hand (I did not
actually install it so this is second hand)
You can download an eval of 3.0 from Allaires site, if you can get to it,
but (personal recommendation) you may want to evaluate some other JSP
engines.
