Page 13-172 pf the PFD spec states that one of the valid input objects to the xml attribute of <x:parse> is an instance of javax.xml.transform.Source. Resulting stacktrace: -------------------------------------------------- javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: Unrecognized object supplied as 'xmlText' attribute to <parse> at org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.common.xml.ParseSupport.doEndTag(ParseSupport.java:167) -------------------------------------------------- Additionally the error message could use some cleanup as 'xmlText' is not a valid attribute.
I've updated the summary to be generic. The <x:parse> action is only able to parse input sources of String or Reader. Any of the other input sources: -javax.xml.transform.Source -Object exported by <x:parse>, <x:set>, or <x:transform> Will fail.
Funny, I just questioned this in the spec; I believe it is a spec typo. I'll follow up once I hear back from Pierre,
To be changed in the spec.
