EL Expressions are not resolved in my JSPs

**tag** · Apr 5th, 2005, 11:19 AM

Has anybody experienced the problem that EL expressions like ${message} do not get evaluated, but are treated like normal characters, when they are used as a view inside a controller?

example jsp:

Code:

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/c" prefix="c"%>
<html>
<body>
	<div style="color&#58;red">$&#123;errorMessage&#125;</div>
	<form method="post" action="loginSimpleformChooser.do">
		<input type="text" name="userName">
		<input type="text" name="password">
		<input type="submit">
	</form>
</body>
</html>

I am using Gaijin Studio on Tomcat with the newest Spring release.

[/code]

Check the version of the Servlet Specification you are targeting.
You web.xml needs to have a header like

Code:

<web-app version="2.4"
  xmlns="http&#58;//java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
  xmlns&#58;xsi="http&#58;//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi&#58;schemaLocation="http&#58;//java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http&#58;//java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
