Yes, I see what you mean. I guess it is a matter of what happen first.
If the escape happens first, then the JSP
<% String foo = "testing %\>"; %>
would be translate to the following java code
String foo = "testing %>";
Then it would be valid java code.
However, it seems to me in Tomcat, the translation happens first so the
following
invalid java code is generated:
String foo = "testing %\>";
