If that is the exact reproduction of your JSP file, then you are bound to get errors and tons of them cause, "---" is not valid Java syntax.
Remove all those hyphens ("-") and retry.

Ok ... If the JSP file is not too long could you post it ?
Cause I can't spot any reason for that error, from what has been posted.

Hi,

Ya syntax is correct.
I restarted eclipse IDE and now its working fine.
Before ending with this syntax i tried many and saved.
But changes were not reflecting to jsp's,so restarted IDE.
So Ctrl+S is not sufficient to save changes done to jsp's ?

hey thanks for reply !!
:)
