Did you try something simpler to see the tags work?
Did you try using ${ } instead of <%= %> ?
Your code snippet doesn't show what scope allData is declared in.
If you've got some existing
jsp's and you're trying to slip in some jstl as a starting point, your allData list is probably declared in a scriptlet and is not visible using ${}. You can get around that a couple of different ways. One way to get things rolling is to use pageContext.setAttribute()...see code snippet:
