problem with JSTL EL<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>in my JSP</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2><c:set value="TEST" var="test"/></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2><c:out value="${test}"/><br></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2><%=pageContext.getAttribute("test")%><br></FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2><c:if test="${test}"></FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>TRUE</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2></c:if><br></FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2><c:if
test="<%="TEST".equals(pageContext.getAttribute("test"))%>"></FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>TRUE</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2></c:if><br></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>what I see</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>${test}</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>TEST</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>TRUE</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, the c tags are working (set, out, if all do
something) </FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>But, expression language does not
work - the expressions are not being evaluated</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am running Tomcat 5.0.28 with OpenCMS 6a2 and
Java1.4.2</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>I installed the jstl-examples
webapp and do not see problems with EL there.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>So, I am wondering if anyone has had problems with EL within
OpenCms.</FONT> </P>
