${status.value} not getting resolved

>1. It works for the page without the doctype. I have tried mixing and matching to try and get the wizard form to work but as discussed...no luck.

I mean DOCTYPE in your web.xml. Anyway, do you know what the bug is and why I'm asking to do that changes in web.xml?

No I don't know what the bug it. Here is what my web.xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd'>

  	</servlet>

You have to drop DOCTYPE because it refers to Servlet 2.3.
If that won't work, try inserting the following into web.xml:

<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<scripting-invalid>false</scripting-invalid>
<el-ignored>false</el-ignored>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>

I finally just started over and got it working by creating my own sample app instead of trying to use the one from the book I am reading and wouldn't you know it, I got it up and working. Thanks for trying to help me solve this issue. I still have now clue why this was happening.
