Hello all,

I'm sending a note mainly for inclusion in the archive.  I'm sure almost
everyone here knows this.  I think it would have saved me some time.

We recently upgraded from Tomcat 4.1 to Tomcat 5.5.  I was excited to
try creating SimpleTagSupport handlers that easily worked with JSTL
style expression language (el), but it didn't work.  Searching Google I
got many pages like this one:

http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javaserverpages/JSP20/

that imply that it should just work right out of the box.  I almost gave
up (for now) when I came across this very helpful note from Tim Funk
(Tim, can you hear the ovation from Richmond, IN, USA?):

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/200306.mbox/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]

This is what the top of my web.xml file looks like now.  I can't promise
that it is "correct" but it works.

Searched Google for (in many combinations):
tomcat 5 tag library expression language tld custom handler el rtexprvalue
tomcat 5 configuration expression language debian el

Thanks,
Eric
