Description ruisj CLA 2005-10-17 11:32:56 EDT 
Unfortunately, we often write a jsp file such as:
 <button value="<"> , or
 <button value="<<">, or
 <button value="<=">, or
 <input value="<info:format left="Old" s1="<<" right="Young"/>"
.In a general way, we think these form is rightful, and we just think the "<" 
or "<<" as value of a attribute, not a tag open.  But the JSP Editor specified 
in jst cannot parse such fragments correctly. Please check it. Thanks!
Comment 1 David Williams CLA 2005-10-17 12:00:23 EDT 
We've had similar requests, and I generally agree. 
But, it'll take some "deep" work to safely satisfy 
all situations. 
Thanks.
Comment 2 ruisj CLA 2005-10-17 22:31:36 EDT 
Thanks for your agreement on this. I hope for making something for this issue 
and I have been studing "ibmtools.zip" contributed by IBM and the subsequent 
WTP with great interest for almost half a year. Can you show me the 
file "file:/D:/eclipse.wtp/workspace/org.eclipse.wst.sse.core/DevTimeSupport/Sed
Model/HTMLTokenizer/devel/JSPTokenizer.jflex" described in comment of the 
class "org.eclipse.jst.jsp.core.internal.parser.internal.JSPTokenizer.java"? If 
for some reason it is discommodiously, would you like to tell me the intending 
time to resolve it?  Thanks and expect much!
Comment 3 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2005-10-19 15:51:28 EDT 
The file is located in CVS in the org.eclipse.wst.sse.core plugin under 
DevTimeSupport/SedModel/HTMLTokenizer/devel/JSPTokenizer.jflex.  I regret saying
it but, given its complexity, the time to resolve it will be after 1.0.
Comment 4 Nitin Dahyabhai CLA 2009-04-19 23:13:30 EDT 
I think this would require altering the rules for '<' within JSP quotes to behave differently when something other than a custom tag name is encountered.  Tricky stuff.
Comment 5 Ian Tewksbury CLA 2010-01-19 10:39:20 EST 
This is still an issue.  Most likely needs an update to the JSPTokenizer.

Comment 8 Sarika Sinha CLA 2010-03-29 11:31:08 EDT 
This patch takes care of "<" inside attribut value in jsp. For html this is still a problem and needs to be taken care.

Hi, Sarika. Thanks for the patch. I think Bug 316223 took care of this in both HTML and JSPs. So I will mark this as a duplicate for now.
