According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute test does not accept any expression

[Rick Ross]

That is the error I kept getting with the simplest of JSTL in a page now 
that I converted over to Tomcat 5.0.9 from 4.1.24

After a wee bit of trial and error, I realized that the _rt libraries 
are required with JSP 2.   Perhaps others will have known this off the 
bat, but it didn't occur to me until I got slapped by it (my wife can 
vouch for that as my standard learning style).

So, as with Tomcat 4.1.x, you don't need anything in your web.xml nor 
any TLDs explicitly hanging around (so long as they are in the jar)
However, you will need to reference the "rt" versions of all of the 
functionality.  So every:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %>

Needs to be replaced with

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt"; prefix="c" %>

or better yet with the explicit xmlns: declaration (which I haven't 
bothered with yet.)
