[Q] c:import including code to be processed

[betabagel]

That worked out just great!

Though I had to alter the taglib a little to this:

<%@ taglib prefix='c' uri='http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt' %>

I also saw some reference to adding

<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>

But it works well without it.

Guess I'll be crushed again tomorrow when I find out I cannot use the scope objects in the included page

I'm using Apache Tomcat/5.5.9, which I thought was a JSP 2.0 container with EL expressions. Hope I don't have to do some extra configuration to make it work?

After all I can retrive the variables like this:
<c: out variable="${includedPage}"/>

That's because JSTL is handling the EL for you there - it doesn't require EL capability from the container. But your version of Tomcat should understand EL 'out of the box', unless something has disabled that. Definitely check the schema definition, as Yatesco suggests - if it is not for version 2.4, it should be. You could try putting the following line at the top of your problem page as a check:

<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>

This will mean that EL will be interpreted for that page even if Tomcat is set not to for the whole application. (But do update the schema definition)!
