[Springframework-developer] Nested <spring:nestedPath> Tags in Tomcat 5.0.29

[Seth L. <set...@gm...>]

Just a head's up,

It appears that Tomcat 5.0.27 and 5.0.29 (at least) don't support
nested tags of the same type that export the same variable (as defined
in the .tld file).

The Jasper JspC compiler generates Java source code that can't be
compiled.  There is a variable that is out of scope of the location
it's being used.  I've tried different <variable> <scope>'s just in
case.

Removing the <variable> element from the .tld for the nestedPath tag
fixes the problem.  I don't think that element is deprecated quite
yet, but it sounds like it's only there for scriptlets.

I've filed a bug report with Tomcat, so we'll see where that goes.

Any others attempt to use a nested <spring:nestedPath> tag?  Any luck?

Thanks,
Seth
