YOu can't intermix <% %> and xml syntax. YOu can use one or the other, but not both at the same time.

Hi,

I'm a student learning about JSP and servlets,
I currently have some example JSP files that run OK using the <% %>
tags, but won't run when using <jsp:expression></jsp:expression> tags

I have 2 files taken from a book by Dustin Callaway, simple.jsp --> works fine

any ideas why the XML is not working?
I'm using Redhat 9, tomcat 4.1.27, java sdk 1.4.2
Apparently tomcat 4.x complies with jsp spec 1.2, which as far as I can
see includes the XML syntax used above.


thanks,
kind regards,
Luke
