Hi, I'm trying to create jsp documents (ie. all syntax written in valid xml).
In order to do this documents must be contained within a jsp:root element, e.g. <jsp:root version="2.0"> <!-- Rest of doc --> </jsp:root > For standalone pages this works fine. My problem is that I am also using a prelude file specified in the web.xml to do some common tasks for each page. <include-prelude>/template/prelude.jspf</include-prelude> <include-coda>/template/coda.jspf</include-coda> Case 1: prelude.jspf is not a valid jsp document (ie. it is a valid jsp page, but not a xml doc) Then when my main page (a valid jsp docuemnt) loads I get a jsp compile exception because the <jsp:root> element must be the first element in a jsp document. It is not in this case because prelude.jspf has been inserted at the start of the file. Case 2: prelude.jspf is a valid jsp doc. (i.e. contained within a <jsp:root> .... </jsp:root> element). Again this then means that my main page cannot be a jsp document because the <jsp:root> element is already terminated in the prelude.jspf file. I get the same exception as case 1. The second case here, is that I don't try to include my main jsp page within jsp:root elements. This however simply means that my main page is not validated as an xml document, and I can include non standard elements (e.g. <hr> instead of <hr/>) Case 3: prelude.jspf incudes the <jsp:root> start element but does not close the element. (This would be done in coda.jspf) This results in a jsp exception because prelude.jspf is not a valid xml doc. Until I close the jsp:root element in prelude.jspf this always fails. Is it possible to generate valid jsp documents when using preludes and codas? Am I doing something silly?
