I’m using Tomcat 5.5. Here is the relevant part of a minimal jsp. (It works just fine in RAD 6 with WebSphere 6, but not in Tomcat.)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”>
<%@ taglib uri=”http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core” prefix=”c”%>
<html>
<body>
This is my JSP page. <br>
2+2: <c:out value=”$(2+2)”></c:out>
</body>
</html>Both jstl.jar and standard.jar in WEB-INF\lib contain the following in the Manifest file:
Specification-Version: 1.1
Implementation-Version: 1.1.2In the .mymetadata file, I see the following:
j2ee-spec=”1.4″But the <c:out> is displaying the string $(2+2), instead of the sum 4. WebSphere 6 is correctly displaying 4. What am I missing? Thanks very much.

You might be using a Web 2.3 compliant web.xml file, which Tomcat defaults to *not* evaluating EL expressions. If you change to using a web.xml file with a proper J2EE 1.4 web 2.4 compliant file, EL processing should be enabled by default.
Here is the opening web-app tag:
<web-app xmlns=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee”
xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”
version=”2.4″ xsi:schemaLocation=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd”
>I appreciate the response.
