Tomcat 5.0.19 and JSTL

[Gerald Spica]

I am trying to run this JSTL code on Tomcat 5.0.19.

<tr>
            <%-- Access the UserProfile bean's properties without
                 explicitly specifying scope --%>
            <td>First Name:</td>
            <td><c :-o	 ut value='${profile["name"].firstName}'/></td>
         </tr><tr>
            <td>Last Name:
            <td><c :-o	 ut value='${profile.name["lastName"]}'/></td>
         </tr><tr>
            <td>Street Address:
            <td><c :-o	 ut value='${profile.address.streetAddress}'/>
            </td>
 </tr><tr>
            <td>City:
            <td><c :-o	 ut value='${profile.address.city}'/></td>
         </tr><tr>
            <td>State:
            <td><c :-o	 ut value='${profile.address.state}'/></td>
         </tr><tr>
            <td>Zip Code:
            <td><c :-o	 ut value='${profile.address.zip}'/></td>
         </tr>

but my outputs come out blank.

 Profile for ${name["firstName"]} ${pageScope.profile.name.lastName}: 
First Name: ${profile["name"].firstName} 
Last Name:  ${profile.name["lastName"]} 
Street Address:  ${profile.address.streetAddress}  
City:  ${profile.address.city} 
State:  ${profile.address.state} 
Zip Code:  ${profile.address.zip} 
 

I can make it work fine using:

Street Address = <jsp:getProperty name="address" property="streetAddress"/> 
 
Street Address = <jsp:getProperty name="profile" property="address"/>   

The code is from core JSTL, which was tested on Tomcat 4.0. Anyone have any idea why this is not running?

You have downloaed the JSTL 1.1 jars and placed them in WEB-INF/lib?

The correct taglib declarations (note that the tld URIs have change from JSTL 1.0 to 1.1) are in the JSPs?

You have declared the web app as a servlet 2.4 web app by using the servlet 2.4 XML schma declaration in the web.xml file?

And please be sure to check 'disable smilies' when posting code!
