As far as I can tell, the Iterators taglib is really just targeted at JSP 1.2. What I think you're seeing is the result of the tags using "<rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>" for their attributes in the taglib's TLD file. This is required under JSP 1.2 to use the JSTL EL for attribute values because the taglib evaluates the expression, not the container. Under JSP 2.0, however, EL evaluation is handled by the container. So, if you want to use the EL for attribute values under JSP 2.0, the attributes need to use "<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>" in the taglib's TLD file. If you don't mind giving up Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 functionality, you can use a Servlet 2.3 web.xml file for your app with Tomcat 5.
