Description Bruno De Fraine CLA 2008-11-04 09:26:21 EST 
Build ID: M20080911-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
The JSP validator produces syntax errors for the following JSP file:

------ begin JSP ------
<%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"%>

<form:errors path="email" />
------ end JSP ------

The errors are all on line 0:
- Syntax error on token "}", delete this token
- Syntax error on token "catch", Identifier expected
- Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement

The errors disappear if you change the tag to:

<form:errors path="email"></form:errors>
