why is jstl core library not working with EL?

[Yuriy Zilbergleyt]

Hi,

My understanding was that the http://java.sun.com/jstl/core lib was supposed to be the "EL only" library, and yet I get the dreaded "According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute items does not accept any expressions" exception even not passing any scriptlets into the tags. Am I missing something?

http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt of course works as usual.

<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
 
<% String[] stringArray = {"abc","def","ghi"};
   request.setAttribute("stringArray", stringArray);
%>
 
<c:forEach var="aValue" items="${stringArray}">
${aValue}
</c:forEach>

As per forum instructions, please list what versions of Java, Servlets, JSP and JSTL you are using.

Such problems are usually a sign of using incompatible versions.
