Just as a thought, did you declare version 2.4 in your web.xml? I think
that's required to get stuff like the expression language to be recognized.

I am having difficulty in getting Tomcat to understand JSTL tags and the JSP
Expression Language.
As a result ${expression} is just displayed as is on the web page and not
the result of evaluating the expression.
Setting variables using JSTL tags also does not work.
In Manager.java class I have
private String userType;
private String userId;
public String getUserId() {
return userId;
}
public void setUserId(String userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}
public String getUserType() {
return userType;
}
public void setUserType(String userType) {
this.userType = userType;
}
In Manager.jsp I have:
<jsp:useBean id="lmdao"
class="listings.Data.Manager"
scope="request" />
Using JSTL the properties should be set using
<c:set target='${lmdao}' property='userId' value="12345"'></c:set>
<c:set target='${lmdao}' property='userType' value='"Senior">
This works in Glassfish but Tomcat 5.5.25 seems unable to to read JSTL tags
and gives this exception
exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Invalid property in <set>:
"userId"
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWra
pper.java:460)
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:3

org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:265)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803)
.
I have standard.jar and jstl.jar files in C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.25\common\lib
Can anyone see what I need to do to get JSTL running in Tomcat?
John.
