Allen, You are not getting EL working properly.
DSpace 1.5.0 already comes with JSTL 1.1.2 provided, so you do not need to add the jars to the jspui webapp so you do not need to add them. You should already see: WEB-INF/lib/jstl-1.1.2.jar WEB-INF/lib/standard-1.1.2.jar I recommend reading through the following: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-taglibs/FrequentlyAskedQuestions Your trying to use EL syntax in your tags and there need to be some important settings in place for that to work... 1.) Make sure your using in your web.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <web-app 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"; version="2.4"> 2.) Make sure your using the right URL for your taglibraries: <%@ taglib uri="http: //java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %> You should test if you really need to add the taglib directive to your web.xml first. I seem to recall something about JSP checking in the jstl jar first for it. Good luck, Mark p.s. we should have had this added a long time ago, if you get it working please feel free to contribute the result back fro DSpace 1.6, likewise DSpace 1.5.2 has some significant fixes over 1.5.0, I would recommend using it if you can.
