That sort of thing was pretty much unavoidable in older JSP containers, leading many people to say: I prefer Velocity. JSP 2.0 is much more sane, even w/o the XML syntax. You can, for example, use the JSTL expression language directly in attributes and text, so you don't need the "tag within the attribute" abomination. But still, I gave the XML style JSPs a try a while back (I think they are referred to in the JSP spec, confusingly, as "JSP Documents") and found them lacking. As I recall (it's been a while) you can write an XML/JSP something like: <jsp:root xmlns:jsp=' .... '>
<html>
...
Penn & Teller
...
</html>
</jsp:root>which, when "serialized" (JSP doesn't use that term, which might indicate the source of the problem) comes out as <html> ... Penn & Teller ... </html> I gave up on "JSP Documents", and went back to plain old JSP, which as I say is much simpler to write these days. But in conjunction with XSLT I expect you'll have difficulties in any case, since non- XML JSP isn't XML at all (page declarations, for example) and XML JSP contains weird little gotchas, e.g. see above. -- joe
