Doubt in Specs

[Parth Twari]

i have this doubt in the specs and book

see:

SPEC says this line

 <!ELEMENT web-resource-collection (web-resource-name, description?,
url-pattern*, http-method*)> 

you can search in JSP 2.0 spec . It is the latest right?( i am using it for SCWCD 5)

And now the book HF S&JSP on page 666 says that you must mention atleast one

 url-pattern 

So isn't this DTD and book contradicting?

[Parth Twari]

Spec says this

<!--
The body-content element provides provides information on the content of the
body of this tag. This element is primarily intended for use by page composition
tools.
There are currently three values specified:
tagdependent The body of the tag is interpreted by the tag implementation itself,
and is most likely in a different “langage”, e.g embedded SQL statements.
JSP The body of the tag contains nested JSP syntax
empty The body must be empty
This element is optional; the default value is JSP
#PCDATA ::= tagdependent | JSP | empty
-->
<!ELEMENT body-content (#PCDATA) > 

on page 3-46 JSP 2.0 spec

But see ... it has said values of body-content only as tagdependent | JSP | empty

where did the scriptless go?

About your first question, HFSJ is right. There must be at least one url-pattern. You're looking at the wrong place. You should be looking at the Servlets Specification. The DTD is not used anymore, you should check the Xml Schema instead. Download the servlets specification and check the "Deployment Descriptor Diagram".

If it is not used why is it there in the spec?

Are all dtds in jsp spec wrong?

I have Servlet specs , but i dont know how to read xml schema where can i learn it?

Marcus,

You were probably looking in the older versions of the DD. See pics below from the specs (servlet2.4)


and the convention:

No, but they are for Servlets 2.3.

No worry. There are easily readable diagrams in "SRV.13.4 Deployment Descriptor Diagram".

[Parth Twari]

thanks
now these diagrams clear my doubt regarding webapp and its sub elements in the DD

But what about TLDs?

where are the diagrams referring to TLDs? or do I have to refer DTDs for the same?
or do i have to go for diagrams in JSP spec mentioned on page 3-16 JSP spec

[Christophe Verré]

The TLD XML Schema is in the JSP specification, JSP.C.1XML Schema for TLD, JSP 2.0. The format of the diagrams is a bit different, but it's also easily readable.

does this mean that I cannot study and bank upon TLD diagrams from the point of view of scwcd exam?

I'm not sure I understand You should refer to the XML Schema (or the nice diagrams which come with them) instead of the old DTD.
