jsp tag

[Alain]

Is there a reason why a jsp tag in a xml format doesn't work with the
implicit out object?

<jsp:scriptlet>

out.println("<p><b>text</b></p>");

</jsp:scriptlet>

I get following error : unterminated <jsp:scriptlet> tag

When i use
<%
out.println("<p><b>text</b></p>");
%>
it works.

thx,

Are you sure there is no typo in closing tag?

The content model of a <jsp:scriptlet> tag does not prevent <p> from
being interpreted as a tag. Try placing the script within a CDATA
section:

<jsp:scriptlet><![CDATA[
out.println("<p><b>text</b></p>");
]]></jsp:scriptlet>
