Actually, the problem you have here is not with the XML syntax, it's with
the <jsp:include> action: you must specify flush="true" in JSP 1.1. Resin
may implement the preliminary JSP 1.2 spec, where flush is optional.
The XML syntax described in the JSP 1.1 specification is not complete. It
was only intended to show some details about the future direction. Since
it's incomplete, Tomcat 3.x (as the reference implementation of the spec)
does not support it at all.
The complete syntax will be part of JSP 1.2, and I believe it's already
supported in Tomcat 4.0 Beta (the reference implementation for JSP 1.2).
But be aware that the XML syntax is very verbose and intended primarily
for tools. I recommend that you stick to the regular JSP syntax.
