This issue should be of 'critical' level.

I wonder no one encounters this?

jsp/1c0{w,x,y}

Technically, this isn't a bug. The JSP spec requires that if an old Servlet <web-app> is used (i.e. no namespace), the EL expressions should not be evaluated. (This was for backward compatibility.)

The fix makes it so the presense of a <web-app> with no namespace (old-style) uses the JSP 1.2 syntax, but a missing web.xml or any resin-web.xml with a namespace will use JSP 2.0 syntax.

I see. I just compared 3.0.14 and 3.0.15 and found the difference. Thanks!
