the full listing the problematic jsp (not snippets)
the exact JVM/JDK you are compiling with
which specific version of tomcat

  <description><![CDATA["To make it easier to access dynamic data;
                    the Apache Struts framework includes a library of custom 
tags.
                    The tags interact with the framework's validation and 
internationalization features;
                    to ensure that input is correct and output is localized.
                    The Struts Tags can be used with JSP FreeMarker or 
Velocity."]]></description>
