I am using MyEclipse 5.5, and I have somehow put a project into the fiollowing state: JSP 2.0 EL expressions are ignored. I’ve created a tag file, menu.tag, which announces an attribute ‘label’. The expansion of <tags:menu label=”File”> should be

<li>
  <a href="#">File</a>
</li>

Because the definition is

...Declarations...
<li>
  <a href="#">${label}</a>
</li>

However, the ${label} is taken literally. I needed to replace it with <%=label%>.

In new projects, JSP 2.0 EL works. Worse, I can’t use the JSTL effectively with my old project, and I don’t know what settings I should make to change this behavior. I’m getting the J2EE 1.4 libraries. Please help.

I upgraded it to 2.4, and it worked, of course. Sorry to take up your time.

Glad you got it to work. Thanks for letting me know.
