+1. There have been several user reports when Apache Maven packed conflicting API implementation jars into a war file. I do not remember it resulting in such symptoms, but things were going awry for those affected. I would suggest trying the following: 1) Add logEffectiveWebXml="true" to your Context and see how that web.xml is actually interpreted by Tomcat (considering all web fragments and annotations) http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html 2) Run in "strict servlet compliance" mode. That will enable validation of your web.xml against schema. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/systemprops.html#Specification 3) Are there any errors, warnings in the log files? If that does not help, then maybe a) inspect the java code generated for your JSPs b) run with a debugger https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Developing#Debugging c) try with 7.0.42 on Windows, and then with intermediate versions up to 7.0.56 to see when the problem appeared. d) test with 7.0.57 (a release candidate is currently in the voting process on dev@) e) simplify your web application until you have a reproducible test case that you can show others The examples webapp has EL on its pages and those are certainly working. f) update you web.xml to version 3.0 and configure it to avoid annotation scanning https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo/FasterStartUp Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
