EL in Tomcat 5.0.25

[gov kur]

hi everybody ..


the link for the Expression Language examples on the tomcat home jsp executes perfectly

but if i copy the source code into my own jsp then the expressions are not evaluated and are printed as it is . can somebody help?

[Adeel Ansari]

be more specified. there are four examples here in EL.

which one are you talking about? or are you gettin problems in all?
wht actually you are gettin?

thanx

This happens because your web applications still have an oldfashioned Servlet 2.3 deployment descriptor (web.xml), or perhaps no descriptor at all. This will cause the JSP container to use JSP 1.2 compatibility mode, with EL disabled.

You need to write descriptor which uses the Servlet 2.4 schema. See the Tomcat sample webapp for an example. As a quick workaround, add <%@page isELIgnored="false"%> at the top of your page; that will enable EL support on that page.
