Re: EL expressions not being evaluated..

Set up a fresh install of the latest Tomcat on the side with the correct web.xml entry, and put a test jsp page in it with a simple EL expression and see if it evaluates. 
   
  I have apache-tomcat-5.5.12
   
  and a different set of jar files under apache-tomcat-5.5.12\common\lib : 
   
  commons-el.jar
jasper-compiler-jdt.jar
jasper-compiler.jar
jasper-runtime.jar
jsp-api.jar
jstl.jar
naming-factory-dbcp.jar
naming-factory.jar
naming-resources.jar
serializer.jar
servlet-api.jar
standard.jar
xalan.jar

thank you very much.. I put what you posted in my web.xml (in lieu of
what I had there previously (and what I have in all web.xml's in 
Tomcat), namely


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


....

I put the code you posted in both the web.xml for the particular webapp
and in conf/web.xml.. but EL expressions are still not evaluating..
this is how a JSP with EL prints in the browser (IE & FF..)

Request Method: ${pageContext.request.method}
Request Protocol: ${pageContext.request.protocol}
Context Path: ${pageContext.request.contextPath}
....
Remote Host: ${pageContext.request.remoteHost}
Secure: ${pageContext.request.secure}
Cookies: ${c.name}: ${c.value}
Headers: ${h.key}: ${value}


thanks again....
