Well, I finally got around to playing with Tomcat 5, and everything
seems to work well except for my custom tags (which is to say my whole
web app broke :) ).
My problem is when tomcat tries to process my custom tags I get an error
as follows:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /index.jsp(13,0) Unknown attribute
type (String) for attribute bar.
org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHand
ler.java:83)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch(ErrorDispatcher.java
:402)
*SNIP*
Anyone have an idea as to what might be wrong? Keep in mind, everything
worked fine with Tomcat 4.x. The only thing I can think of is that
perhaps this has something to do with TEI classes (which I have never
bothered with before)? In the mean time I think I'll start slogging
through the JSP 2.0 spec, but if anyone can prevent me from thinking for
myself that would be appreciated :).
Thanks in Advance,

P.S. Here is a simple test case which demonstrates the problem (I have
it in a nice zip file with the directory structure if anyone wants it):
FooTag simply prints out the contents of a variable "bar" when it is
passed along, otherwise prints out a default message of "Nothing set!":
