Hi James:
It appears that you need to put your text into CDATA sections inside
<jsp:text> tags. The following seems to work:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page";
version="1.2">
<jsp:scriptlet>
int a = 15;
</jsp:scriptlet>
<jsp:text><![CDATA[<html><head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
Hi everyone! The number is:]]>
</jsp:text> <jsp:expression>a</jsp:expression>
<jsp:text>.<br /></jsp:text>
<jsp:scriptlet>
out.println("I like the mongoose!<br />");
</jsp:scriptlet>
<jsp:text><![CDATA[</body></html>]]></jsp:text>
</jsp:root>
