model.addAttribute value won't display using JSTL in my jsp file

[laura mccord]

I event tried to pass something generic like

String name = "me";
model.addAttribute("name", name);

And when I try to display the result like such:

${name}

What displays is actually ${name} instead of me

I do have the jstl library in my webapp and I did include the following line of code in my jsp file <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Make sure that your web.xml is defined correctly. Check this FAQ.

Ugh! That was it!

I have been doing various samples and I must have meshed them without considering the a conflict in versions.

Thanks sooooo much...now I can proceed.
