Felix, I wish I could have saved you the 6 hours! I went through this very same upgrade process myself, and it is not well documented that JSP-EL is off by default in a 2.3 container :-( And it gives the illusion it is on when all your EL are within JSTL tags. -- Paul

Now my JSTL tags were broken. So after a quick Google search I found that you have to change your taglib from <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %> to <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt"; %> After doing all this the EL is now being evaluated on the JSTL tags, and my JSP page. 6 hours wasted on this stupid problem. Thank you very much Paul and Wendy for all your help.

I get ${test} in the browser. So the only time that ${test} gets evaluated is when i do a That says your container is not evaluating the expressions. Has this ever worked for this app? Check your configuration, my guess is that your web.xml is still using the Servlet 2.3 DTD. -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- How low will we go?
