I know I'll look back on this learning curve with a head-slapping recollection, but until then, for posterity:
1. If I remove the taglib directive in the JSP, the various <c:> tags are copied directly into the html output, with the browser doing its best to just ignore them. The plaintext tag body content is actually rendered, again, the result of the browser doing its best with what it considers unknown markup. 2. When I put the taglib directive back in, the JSP compiles and subsequently does something with the <c:> tag directives, as the tags are no longer copied into the resultant html and the default <c:otherwise> always seems to execute. Nor do I receive any exception output in the browser or in the catalina.out logfile. Whatever is misconfigured in my app is not a completely fatal situation: I just can't get at the scripting variables to do meaningful operations on them.
