Bug ID: 59668
Summary: x:forEach retains the incorrect scope when used in a
tag called from another x:forEach
Product: Taglibs
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Mac OS X 10.1
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: XTags Taglib
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: matthewcasper...@gmail.com
This is related to https://github.com/mcasperson/wildfly_jstl_bug/
There is a bug that occurs when you have a x:forEach in a JSP page, and inside
this x:forEach you call a tag that itself has a x:forEach. The variable created
by the second x:forEach is inaccessible to any nested x:out elements.
This happens because the x:out pagecontext is assigned from the parent
x:forEach (from the tag file), which in turn has its pageContext assigned from
its parent x:forEach (from the JSP page). This means the x:out element has no
access to page scoped variables from the tag.
This bug is known to affect WildFly 10.0.0, which uses code forked from the
Apache TagLib project. See
https://github.com/mcasperson/wildfly_jstl_bug/blob/master/src/main/webapp/index.jsp
and
https://github.com/mcasperson/wildfly_jstl_bug/blob/master/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/tags/my.tag
for more details. When run, this JSP page produces the exception:
Caused by: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Could not resolve XPath
variable: $childNode

We have a fix which you can view at
https://github.com/jboss/jboss-jstl-api_spec/pull/12/files/e0b0140c879c43c8dc2cc881e5cd3d857935d685..b03bea7ad4d3a92a16d8a9f67434cf033f72ca09.
It is a nasty hack so I am not suggesting this is how the problem should be
solved, but it does demonstrate how pageContexts are being incorrectly assigned
with the x:forEach element and nested tags.
