Re: Runtime expressions with <img:image>

The image tag I am referring to, <img:image> is NOT HTML but rather the Jakarta taglib as the last poster mentioned.

Neither this: 

<img:image src='${path}' />

nor this: 

<img:image src='<c:out value="${path}"/>' />

not this: 

<img:image src='<%= (String)pageContext.getAttribute("path") %>'/>

works. If I put ${path} alone it doesn't process it. If I put either of the other 2 it says the <img> tag is missing its right-hand component.

I downloaded jstl 1.1 (the jar that comes with Java SDK 1.4, appserv-jstl.jar, right?) and got rid of my old jstl.jar and standard.jar and ${path} all by itself, without <c:out> still doesn't work.

In my web.xml I changed the first line from :

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

to:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
            http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
        version="2.4">

and my  tomcat/common/lib/servlet-api.jar is verison 2.4. And it's still not working.

*Sigh*

Thanks for all your help guys ...

;-) I had a WTF moment when I read your previous reply because I assumed it 
was the Image taglib:
