JSP EL not evaluated (solved)

[ulsa]

I thought I'd post this for the benefit of all.

I ran into the old problem of JSP EL not being evaluated, even though I checked the usual suspects:

the correct taglib (http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core, not http://java.sun.com/jstl/core)
web.xml being of version 2.4 or greater
JSP 2.0 and JSTL 1.1.2 available


Well, the problem actually was "or greater". I had used version 2.5 in web.xml, and apparently that requires JSP 2.1, otherwise EL evaluation is disabled. I don't see any JSP 2.1 in the Spring DM repo, so I changed back to 2.4 and everything works.

Thanks for sharing Ulrik. We'll be moving to BRITS (entirely if possible) for the next Spring-DM release so hopefully any missing jars not present in Spring-DM repo will be then available in BRITS.
