I'm having a problem with a JSP using JSTL 1.0.3 and Tomcat 4.1.29 running under Windows 2000 v5 sp4 and JDK 1.4.1_03.
I have a front controller servlet that instantiates a Command object for a given page and event. In this case, the Command is sending a URL to a vendor-supplied servlet, running on a different server, and getting an XML stream back. The XML stream is added to the request as an attribute and a RequestDispatcher forwards to a response JSP, which uses the JSTL XML and core tags to parse and output the XML stream. I ask the Command to print the XML stream to stdout so I can see whether the query succeeded before forwarding to the response JSP. The Command has a successful interaction with the vendor servlet. I can see the complete XML stream written to stdout.txt. It is 55,338 characters long. However, I get an exception in the browser when it tries to render the page: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Premature end of file The content of the JSP is pretty simple: <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml"; %> <!-- XML response data from Vista via the servlet --> <jsp:useBean id="lineNumberVistaXML" type="java.lang.String" scope="request"/> <!-- Just print the XML for now to see if it comes down --> <x:parse var="lineNumberVistaXML"/> <c:out value="${lineNumberVistaXML}"/> <hr /> What does "Premature end of file" mean? Is there a limit on attribute size? Are 55,338 chars too big to handle? Thanks - MOD __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
