The JSP Editor does not do auto-completion for variables spanning multiple scriplets within the same page. If a variable is defined in one scriptlet then accessed in another scriplet (all on the same page) the auto- completion does not recognize this variable. The page compiles and executes successfully, however the editor provides no help with auto-completion. For example: <% String str = "Hello"; // auto-completion works great here! str.toUpperCase(); %> <p>Dummy body stuff here</p> <% // auto-completion doesn't work here! str = str.toLowerCase(); %>
In fact there is the same reason as issue #8600. We would need to produce stream of Java source to be parsed in order to get that kind of completion data. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 8600 ***
