enabling JSP 2.0+ support [message #142948]

I'm trying out the PetStore example from Apache Beehive project. Mostly
everything compiled fine but there's one problem:

<netui:anchor action="begin">
<img src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/arrow.gif" border=0
/> ${bundle.view.buttonCancel}
</netui:anchor>

The error I'm getting is: the method contextPath() is undefined for the
type servletRequest.

I've enabled Java Compiler to use compliance level 5.0. but the problem
still exist. Tomcat v5.5 runtime was added to the project. JRE is
JDK1.5.0_05.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do so JSP 2.0+ enabled as
well? This is a requirement for beehive 1.0 NetUI. Thanks.

I ran into this too. I think it's because WTP thinks that
pageContext.request is a ServletRequest, unaware of the subclass. I
think there is a validation option you can use to shut this off.

In general, support in WTP for JSP 2.0 is really sketchy. For example,
it doesn't support tag files very well, not all JSP standard actions are
implemented, and there are numerous bugs with encoding detection.

This is a known bug, #101871.

One workaround I've used:

${pageContext['request'].contextPath}

Yes, it's ugly but it does keep WTP from complaining.

Just out of curiousity is there any reason you wouldn't use the core URL
tag?

<img src="<c:url value="/images/arrow.gif"/>">

And if you're doing a JSP Document (i.e. nested tags don't jive) I
think you can do this:

<c:url var="arrowImgUrl" value="/images/arrow.gif"/>
<img src="${arrowImgUrl}"/>

I use the first instance successfully, I haven't had a need to try the
second just yet.

Readability mainly. Also, I've noticed that some JSTL implementations
(can't remember which ones) generate improper XHTML links with multiple
params (& instead of &).
