Description _ gtzabari 2002-08-31 08:45:21 UTC 
<jsp:setproperty .../> should not be highlighted
as a recognized JSP command since "setproperty"
(notice its all lowercase) is not a known function
whereas "setProperty" is.

More importantly, compiling a page containing
<jsp:setproperty .../> does not trigger an error,
but the code simply won't run. This "silent
failing" makes it very difficult to debug a page.

Gili,

I agree this is a bug. However, I think the best solution 
would be if the Tomcat JSP compiler detected this 
situation and reported an error.

Downgrading to P4, as this does not influence the 
functionality of the product, only makes a bit less fool-
proof.

Tomcat 5 JSP compiler throws 
'org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Invalid standard action'
on <jsp:setproperty .../>

Marking as fixed.
