Well, your page certainly doesn't work under Tomcat 4.0 (which implements JSP 1.2).
Furthermore, it
*should* not.
Because you are starting this page with an <?xml version="1.0"?> directive, the JSP
compiler assumes that
you have created this page in the XML syntax for JSP pages, as described in the 1.2
spec
<http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/download.html>. However, this page violates several
of the rules:
* It does not start with a <jsp:root> element (this is
what the parse error is complaining about).
* It uses <% %> for a scriptlet, instead of the
required <jsp:scriptlet> element.
You will need to rewrite your page conforming to the new syntax rules in order for it
to work correctly
under 4.0.

PS: Why did it work under 3.1? Because 3.1 didn't support the XML syntax, so it just
passed the <?xml?>
directive through as template text.
