Bug 229178

Description David Lewis 2008-04-28 16:50:42 EDT

Build ID: M20080221-1800

Steps To Reproduce:
The portion of a description in a tag library that contains < or > symbols is missing or altered when displayed by JSP content assist in the JSP editor. This applies to cases where the description is wrapped in a "<![CDATA[ ... ]]>" section, or the < and > are escaped as "&gt;" and "&lt;".

1. Create a tag library such as "sample.tld":
    <tag>
        <name>tableConfig</name>
        <tag-class>org.nfis.n3wrt.taglib.TableConfig</tag-class>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[Tag library for configuring filtering, ordering and 
            formatting of rows and columns displayed using the <rowLoop/> and 
            <colLoop/> tags.]]>
        </description>

2. Create a new JSP page that references the "sample.tld" tag library. Reference the tag library and use the CTRL-Space to enable the content assist.
3.  Note that the text reads: "Tag library for configuring filtering, ordering and formatting of rows and columns displayed using the and tags." The <rowLoop/> and <colLoop/> are missing.
4. Update the description in the tag library so that it does not use a "<![CDATA[ ... ]]>" section, and instead reads: "Tag library for configuring filtering, ordering and formatting of rows and columns displayed using the &gt;rowLoop/&lt; and &gt;colLoop/&lt; tags."
5. When using the content assist in the JSP, note that the text now reads: "Tag library for configuring filtering, ordering and formatting of rows and columns displayed using the >rowLoop/colLoop/< tags."
