Hi Shawn, You're right, it's sometime easy to forget that Apache's implementation of the JSTL is just that, an implementation. It's easy to think of it as The JSTL. I suspect that there are other implementations. Are any widely used?
The main issue/question is going to be of course with any static variables. We'll have to look at the code and see if the tag libraries use static stuff that will cause problems and specifically security issues. I was just curious if there's any experience using the JSTL across contexts.
