Need help with Tomcat 5 and el

[kasun madurasinghe]

I'm studying for SCWCD 1.4 using Head first book and Tomcat 5.5. As it says Jsp 2.0 is el enabled by default. But in my container its'not. Even if I set <el-ignored>false in DD it won't work, unless I specify isELIgnored="false" in each jsp page. What's the problem here. (I tried with several Tomcat versions 5.2, 5.3.. but failed)

Hi there

Can you pass your DD ? Please check that you do not have somthing like this in your DD

<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<el-ignored>true</el-ignored>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>

1. Start Tomcat 5.x or higher.
2. Access Welcome Page (http://127.0.0.1:8080/)
3. Access JSP Examples.
4. Try executing 1 of the JSP 2.0 Examples.

What happens?

Ahh.. It was the DD. I've used the old DTD header for <web-app> . Thanks guys. Now it's OK
