Re: EL expressions not being evaluated..

oh brother.. this means I would have to upgrade to sdk 1.5 from 1.4 
(Tomcat 5.5 requires 1.5..  it might not be a bad idea, though, b/c I 
also want to start playing with NetBeans..  but have been reluctant to 
upgrade everything...:)

ok, many thanks to everyone for your help..
