I am rather new to JSP. However, I note that many standard jsp commands are XML elements that begin with (are in the namespace?) "jsp:". What I have found is that Tomcat seems to not reserve this prefix (namespace?) for use by the jsp engine. For example: I can delcare a taglib and give it the prefix "jsp" and get no complaints. I am not sure what will happen but it seems confusing at best, tramatic at worst. Also, if I screw up and enter <jsp:incude> instead of <jsp:include>, Tomcat does not complain or find any error. It simply takes the data and places it on the servlets output. This seems to be little help either. I have looked at the current JSP spec and find nothing on this one way or the other. It would seem a minor imposition to require that the prefix "jsp" be reserved and that the allowed commands within that prefix to be enforced by Tomcat. Tomcat complains when I screw up on the use of an explicitly declared tag library element. It complains if I forget to provide a required attribute to either a valid jsp:xxx command or a declared tag library command. I am wrong to expect the behaviors that I do not see? Thanks, David
