scripting-invalid

I'm trying to make invalid for a JSP to have scriptin elements, I put in the DD:

<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<scripting-invalid>true</scripting-invalid>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>

and in the jsp:

Testing if the scripting is disabled:
<%
out.println("scripting enable");
%>

But this JSP still work, does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

What is the name of your file which has this jsp scriptlet?

The name and the directory is:

<tomcat_dir>\webapps\SCWCDStudy\testScripting.jsp

Did u restart the server. Just a guess.

Yes, I did it and nothing happened

Try doing the following:

1.Clear the .class files created for the jsps. They will be inside 'work' directory.

2. Check whether the directory structure is correct.Like web.xml is inside <tomcat_dir>\webapps\SCWCDStudy\WEB-INF.

3. And also see while starting the tomcat, whether it shows any error due to declarations in DD. I have faced some problems because of the order of declarations.

Try these and get back with your output.

Could anyone tell me as to where we need to give the

I get an exception when i start tomcat (4.1.30) with the above tags in my web.xml file.

Hi Subramanian

There is an order that has to be maintained when u add ur declarations in DD(web.xml)...while starting itself, along with the error it will show the order...see that order and change ur web.xml accordingly...

Or if it is showing any exceptions as "element 'jsp-config' must be declared" then add the following header...

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">

Hi ,

Tomcat 4.1 may not support this property . I think this version supports
JSP 1.1 only

This feature might be available only in JSP 2.0 which is supprtoed by Tomcat 5.0

In fact I was having a similar problem where I was trying on Weblogic 6.1 which supports only JSP 1.1

You can probably give a try on Tomcat 5.0

Hope this helps

Guess Shiva is right - tomcat 4.1 still gives me an exception.

Isn't this version sufficient for the exam or do we need to know features that would work in version 5 as well?

I see what I was doing wrong.

I update my web.xml to 1.4 and now everything is woking

<web-app
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">

Thanks all
