I believe this is related to Bug http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34034 . This bug is already fixed on Tomcat, but the way class org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jasper.TagLibCache deals with entities may be the problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
