BTW, I understand that I can use a different syntax with the runtime expressions. So, if I change my jsp (not use the xml syntax) it's working fine:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %> <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %> <%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %> <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <c:set var="aheader" value='<%=System.getProperty("com.tv.common.assets.header")%>'/> ${aheader} However, I'd like to find out if it anyway somehow possible to use the jsp xml syntax and JSP 2.0 runtime expressions in the attribute values of JSTL 1.1 For example Resin does allow it.
