JSP in XML syntax

Earth · Sep 9, 2004

Hi all,

I am new in JSP and Tomcat. Please forgive me if I have raised a simple question.

I am trying to write a simple JSP in XML syntax as follows.

<jsp:root
xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
version="1.2">

<html><body>

<jsp:directive.page language="java" />

<jsp:declaration>
int count = 0;
</jsp:declaration>

<jsp:scriptlet>
count++;
</jsp:scriptlet>

<br>

<jsp:text>
Welcome! You are visitor number
</jsp:text>

<jsp:expression>
count
</jsp:expression>

</br>

</body></html>

</jsp:root>

However, when I access the page with IE6, I get the HTML tags in the browser.
- <html>
- <body>
<br>Welcome! You are visitor number 1</br>
</body>
</html>

It is ok when using the stand JSP syntax, for example <% %>

Do I missing anythiing here?

Please enlighten me.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or inputs.

IE handles XML, but needs to "know" it's XML. Presumably, IE "knows"
that the .jsp extension means HTML if nothing else is stated, so it
treats the JSP tags as "junk" HTML.

Why do you need to see the XML in IE anyway? There are other XML tools
that can show it and that don't assume anything based on the filename
extension.

Hi,

However, when I access the page with IE6, I get the HTML tags in the browser.

Use:

<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>

Hi Tobias,

Thanks, it works with <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1"/>

In fact, what does this code mean to IE?

Thanks in advance for any ideas and inputs.
