It appears you are treating foo as a string. The + sign is concatenating 1 with 1 which gives you a result of a String containing the characters 1 and 1.

After executing the next two lines <c:set var="foo">1</c:set> <c:set var="foo" value="$foo + 1"/> the value of foo is "11" Is there a way to get that the value of foo be 2 using expression language? Thanks in advance.
