It appears that it actually does, as long as the servlet spec version is
2.4 or above. Look at webapps/examples/jsp/jsp2/el, and you'll see
numerous expressions in arbitrary places. I tried the following and it
works properly under 6.0.14, displaying "Hello 3" (without the quotes):
<html><body>
Hello ${1 + 2}
</body></html>
> <web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"
> 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-app_2_4.xsd";>
Most (all?) other web.xml files I've seen put version= last; it
shouldn't make a difference, but...

By any chance, is <el-ignore> set to true in conf/web.xml? Or is there
some standard include you're using that sets isELIgnored? If so, it
would inhibit evaluation in all webapps/JSPs that don't explicitly
reverse that setting.
