OK. What I have found to be the issue is that you have to define a context. If you don't for some reason that given directory can run jsp's and tag libraries fine, but the EL does not work in them. The setup I had was for a different host. So I had only defined my base context. Then I had a jsp directory which had not been defined to be in a context. This directory was sitting parallel to my ROOT directory so I have ROOT and jsp in the same directory. I guess the confusing part is the error messages. If tomcat would say. Context required to run JSP or servlets I think that would help some of the questions. Probably more informative error messages to match what the setup requires. Does this sound like a good idea?
