XML equivalent tags!!

[Manjunath Subramanian]

Hello All,
Determine the output of the following two pieces of code...
1)Case 1: Using xml equvalent tags
**********************************
<jsp:scriptlet>
if(true == false){
</jsp:scriptlet>
<jsp:forward page="/MyJsp/1.jsp"/>
<jsp:scriptlet>
}
else
{
</jsp:scriptlet>
<jsp:forward page="/MyJsp/2.jsp"/>
<jsp:scriptlet>
}
</jsp:scriptlet>
1.jsp and 2.jsp just print of their respective file names in html
*************************************************
2)Case 2:Using JSP syntax
*************************
<%
if(true == false){
%>
<jsp:forward page="/MyJsp/1.jsp"/>
<%
}
else
{
%>
<jsp:forward page="/MyJsp/2.jsp"/>
<%
}
%>
************************************************
Case 1 using xml equiv is directing me to 1.jsp and Case 2 is directing me to 2.jsp!!
Am i doing something terribly wrong here or is it a bug!!
Thanks,
Manjunath

In case 1 you have neglected to include the root element so, the JSP parser ignores your tags as unidentified HTML tags. Change 1 to

<jsp:root 
    xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
    version="1.2">
    <jsp:scriptlet>
    if(true == false) {
    </jsp:scriptlet>
      <jsp:forward page="/MyJsp/1.jsp"/>
    <jsp:scriptlet>
    }
    else
    {
    </jsp:scriptlet>
      <jsp:forward page="/MyJsp/2.jsp"/>
    <jsp:scriptlet>
    }
    </jsp:scriptlet>
</jsp:root>

Retry it.
