IndexOutOfBoundException with jsp:include chain

[erikture]

Hello!

I am running Jboss, both 3.2.5 with jetty and 3.26 with tomcat.

In some of my jsp pages I have a chain of jsp:include, i.e one jsp does include on another jsp that does include on yet another jsp.

This works fine in 3.2.5 with jetty but fails in 3.2.6 with tomcat. In tomcat I am receiving an IndexOutOfBoundsException at the jsp:include row. I do jsp:include with flush="false". If I change it to flush="true" it gets a little better, the page is rendered a bit further but it still generates a IndexOutOfBoundsException.

Why am I receiving this exception in tomcat and not in jetty?
What shall I do to fix this?

Hello!

After a bit more digging I have downloaded Jboss 4.01.
The problem still remains usion the Tomcat bundled.
But after downloading Jetty 5.1.2 for Jboss 4.0. The problem disapears.
My conclution is therefor that it must be something in Tomcat that causes the error. But I can not find out what.

Somebody that can?

Hello!

Now I have found the cause of my problem.
It is nothing with jsp:include-chains. The problem is caused by a url containing an argument with a ";" in it.

This jsp:include succeeds

<jsp:include page="test.jsp?p=something" flush="false" />

but this one fails

<jsp:include page="test.jsp?p=something;" flush="false" />

Is´nt it allowed to have ";" in the parameterstring?
