Re: jstl x:parse outputs data

Thanks Kris,

x:parse tag is now silent :-)

however, I can't get x:out to output anything, it throws

   ERROR: Nested in javax.servlet.ServletException: 
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: org/apache/xpath/XPathException:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xpath/XPathException

I read somewhere that this could be due to a missing xerces library, my 
application has xerces.jar, I am completely lost :-(
