Ok, I am sorry for the confusion. I had assumed that because I was
running tomcat5.5 and tag files were working, I was in jsp 2.0 land,
but I had no version attribute for the web-app declaratipon in
web.xml, and the DOCTYPE was pointing to 2.3. I tried changing it to
what is suggested by the FAQ, but that results in all of my jstl tags
failing to compile. I just read the Jstl-1.1 appendix on compatibilty
and discovered that jstl-1.1 defaults to jstl-1.0 mode when running in
with a web.xml set to 2.3, so that makes sense.
I can't possibly update all my uses of jstl at this point in order to
run with jstl-1.1, so it seems I'm running under 2.3 for the time
being.
Now, given that I'm running under jsp 1.2, not 2.0, and thus using the
struts-el tags, my original question still stands. I won't re-quote
it, for space concerns. Basically, a EL expression is passed from a
page into a tag file via an attribute, and then passed to struts-el as
a property, but I get one-two-few EL evaluations, and thus end up with
a property name that has el expressions in it but is treated as a bean
property literally.
Thanks,
-Clint
P.S. Magic behaviors are dangerous. The fact that the text "2.4" versus
the text "2.3" in my web.xml turns off container jsp-el parsing _and_
toggles jstl 1.0 verses 1.1 is a little much. My $.02.
