If you're using TC 4.1 (JSP 1.2), then you cannot use the EL with rtexpr 
attributes. For JSP 1.2, EL evaluation has to be handled explicitly by the 
taglib. This is what the Struts EL taglib does (as well as Standard 1.0).

I see what you mean WRT to the docs stating "Version: 1.2", but AFAIK you 
can only download one of the nightly builds from the link I provided. I see 
that the <tlibversion> element in the TLD is set to "1.0", so I think 
that's as recent as you can get:
