Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |NEEDINFO --- Comment #5 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- Ah. We need to clarify the behaviour for absolute paths in an include directive first then. My reading of the specification is as follows (all references to Pages 4.0): <%@ include file="/META-INF/include.jspf"%> is an include directive as defined by section 1.10.3. As per 1.10.3, the behaviour of the file attribute is defined by section 1.2.1. 1.2.1 states that paths starting with "/" are context relative. Further, 8.4.1 requires that all tag files packaged in a JAR file are packaged under /META-INF/tags or a sub-directory of /META-INF/tags. While not explicitly stated, it seems reasonable to me that tag file segments should be subject to the same restriction. What is your justification, with specification references, for absolute paths used within a tag file or tag fragment in tag package in a JAR to be relative to the JAR root rather than the context root? What is your justification, with specification references, for it to be permitted for tag file fragments packaged in a JAR file to be located outside of /META-INF/tags ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
