Description Vladimir Nicolici

[Using Eclipse 3.1.1, build M20050929-0840, JST 1.0.0]

If a tag has a variable declared with <scope>AT_BEGIN</scope>, the variable should have a scope from the open tag to the end of the document. So if tag <foo> creates a variable called bar, this code should work:

<foo></foo>
<%= bar %>

But eclipse doesn't see variable "bar" after the closing tag.

The only way to make it work is to use the short form for the foo tag, like this:

<foo />
<%= bar %>

This works. But there is no workaround if the tag really needs a body to work properly, like this:

<foo>Required Body <%= bar %></foo>
<%= bar %>

In this case, the first "bar" usage is accepted, but the second usage is rejected.

Sample project that shows the problem

The web project containts 2 JSPs (test1.jsp and test2.jsp). Both work properly when deployed, but Eclipse shows errors in test1.jsp.

Mass transfer from pa to dw. Needs more triage.
