    Description

      If using a include directive in a tag-file

      1.- A WAR app with just an "index.jsp":

      Unable to find source-code formatter for language: jsp. Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
      <%@ page contentType="text/html" %>
      <%@ taglib prefix="sample" uri="sample" %>
      <html>
      <body bgcolor="white">
        <h1>Sample TLD</h1>
        <sample:copyright/>
      </body>
      </html>
      

      2.- The sample taglib is inside another JAR and defined like this:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
      <taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
                     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_0.xsd"
                     version="2.0">
          <tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
          <short-name>sample</short-name>
          <uri>sample</uri>
          <tag-file>
            <name>copyright</name>
            <path>/META-INF/tags/copyright.tag</path>
          </tag-file>
      </taglib>
      

      3.- The tag-file "copyright.tag" includes another JSP with the include directive:

      Unable to find source-code formatter for language: jsp. Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
      <%@tag body-content="empty" %>
      <%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
      <%@include file="./includes/include1.inc" %>
      <jsp:useBean id="now" scope="application" class="java.util.Date" />
      <p>Copyright© ${now.year + 1900} My Company<%@ tag body-content="empty" %></p>
      

      4.- The final include "include1.inc" is a simple jsp file:

      Unable to find source-code formatter for language: jsp. Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
      <%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
      <%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn"%>
      <%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt"%>
      <p>Request URI: <%= request.getRequestURI() %></p>
      

      The resulting WAR throws the following exception:

      2017-04-04 10:25:34,935 ERROR [io.undertow.request] (default task-7) UT005023: Exception handling request to /tld-war/index.jsp: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /META-INF/tags/copyright.tag (JBWEB004251: An error occurred at line: 3 column: 1) JBWEB004036: File "./includes/include1.jsp" not found

              at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseIncludeDirective(Parser.java:361)
              ...
      

      Nevertheless I have tested that the same application works if:

      1.- The include jsp is added using an absolute path:
      <%@include file="/META-INF/tags/includes/include1.inc" %>

      2.- The include path does not use "." or ".." (it is normalized):
      <%@include file="includes/include1.inc" %>

      Following the normalization idea I have patched the ParserController in jastow-2.0.0.Final-redhat-1.jar like this:

      --- ParserController.java.ORIG    2017-04-04 12:07:39.655817486 +0200

               baseDirStack.push(baseDir);
      

      And it works. The "./includes/include1.inc" is correctly read and the JSP is compiled successfully. I'm going to submit a PR to github later.
