Description Jacek Lawniczek 2003-05-22 11:58:24 UTC 
This works fine:
  <c:out value="'raz'"/>
The generated page fragment is something like this:
  &#039;raz&#039;
So it is OK.

However when I use c:out inside another HTML tag like this:
  <input type='button' value='<c:out value="'raz'"/>'>
The generated html page is invalid:
  <input type='button' value=''raz';raz&#039;'>

This was tested under Tomcat 4.0.6.
This all works fine under JBOSS 3.0.4 so it looks like a Tomcat bug to me.

This works fine under tomcat 4.1.24 as well as tomcat 5.0.
