Description Dave Cherkassky 2003-01-14 16:51:17 UTC 
According to spec, the body of the <c:out> tag specifies the default, in case 
the value attribute is empty.  The current implementation however, has a 
problem.

Once a default value is output once, it is also displayed for all subsequent 
uses of the <c:out> tag.

I am using Tomcat 4.1.12 and Standard tag library 1.0.2 in a Win2K environment.

I am attaching a file that reproduces the problem on my system.

Thanks,
 Dave Cherkassky

Good catch!  I violated my own guidelines concerning tag-handler reuse.  :-)

It should be fixed now in the CVS head; please let me know if you continue to 
experience any problems.
