Correct static jsp includes to allow for Weblogic precompilation

We are getting serveral errors by precompiling the jsp pages for BEA Weblogic 8.1:

Error: [jspc]: 6 file(s) failed:
/includes/decorators/helplink.jsp
/includes/js/history.jsp
/includes/js/savedfilters.jsp
/includes/decorators/headerpopups.jsp
/includes/decorators/bodytop.jsp
/includes/dashboard/projects.jsp
Exception in thread "main" Errors encountered while compiling 'weblogic' :

Translation of /includes/dashboard/projects.jsp failed: (line 11): no corresponding open tag for tag extension close: </webwork:property> //[ null; Line:11]

For more information see jira mailing list.

BEA support investigated the problem and found out:

• f.e. projects.jsp is causing the error in the lines 10, 19 und 33.
• the included JSPs define the webwork taglib <%@ taglib uri="webwork" prefix="webwork" %> AGAIN ! This is the problem:

The pseudo code looks like this:

<%@ taglib uri="webwork" prefix="webwork" %>
<webwork:property value="/projectManager/projectCategory(property('projectcategoryid'))">

// double taglib declaration in the include:
<%@ taglib uri="webwork" prefix="webwork" %>
<webwork:iterator value="browseableProjectsInCategory(.)">
<jsp:include page="/includes/dashboard/project.jsp"/>
</webwork:iterator>

</webwork:property>

• According to JSP Spec. 2.10.2: "It is a fatal translation error for the taglib directive to appear after actions using the prefix."

==>

• to allow compiling you have to correct all static included JSPs (noprojects.jsp, categorisedprojects.jsp, ...) and you have to remove the redeclaration (<%@ taglib uri="webwork" prefix="webwork" %>)
