<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm seeing a strange problem that I'm wondering if anyone else has seen. I am trying to use the JSTL c:out tag with expression language to display information stored in the pageContext and request.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">in my JSP</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><c:set value="TEST" var="test"/></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><c:out value="${test}"/><br></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><%=pageContext.getAttribute("test")%><br></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><c:if test="${test}"></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">TRUE</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">TRUE</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So, the c tags are working (set, out, if all do something) </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">But, expression language does not work - the expressions are not being evaluated</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am running Tomcat 5.0.28 with OpenCMS 6a2 and Java1.4.2</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I installed the jstl-examples webapp and do not see problems with EL there.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So, I am wondering if anyone has had problems with EL within OpenCms.</FONT>
