This is a pretty rudimentary problem, i susect.
I wrote a JSP using the JSTL 1.1 'c' taglib. If i put plain strings
in the tags' attributes, everything works fine. If i put EL
expressions in them, they're treated like plain strings - not
interpreted as expressions.
I reverted to 1.0, and it works fine.
In 1.0, at least in the version i'm using (the 'el' rather than 'rt'
variant), the tags are in charge of interpreting the EL. In 1.1, the
container is supposed to do it, AIUI. It seems like it isn't. Is
there something i need to do to switch it on? Some setting in the
web.xml or such? I had a quick google, and couldn't see anything (i
couldn't really construct a sensible query about it, though) - i
haven't done anything really drastic like read a manual yet.
I'm using JBoss EAP 4.2, FWIW.
Correct taglib URL (for the new versions that include "jsp")
Yup.
and correct servlet spec version in web.xml
Aha, i didn't check that - will do.
is the only two things I can think of.
If that does not resolve it then post a hello world level example
and the web-app tag in web.xml.
Yes, i really should have supplied that, sorry. The code is on a virtual
machine which i can only reach from my office, and although i can
remote-access into my office, just thinking about the number of layers
of port forwarding and remoting it would involve makes my head hurt, so
the code will have to wait until tuesday.
