EL not evaluated

[krishan go]

Hi,
the following code line is not being evaluated


<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<h: outputText value="#{UserBean.userName}" />to JSF 1.2 World!
i have stored the bean value as "welcome"
i should get the output as welcome to jsf 1.2 world

but i am simply getting
#{UserBean.userName} to JSF 1.2 World!

what am i doing wrong

Please help
Krishan

This is usually because the web.xml specifies the wrong servlet container. What does your web.xml say?

:confused:

I don't think the term "servlet container" really applies here - that's more about the application server program itself. But this particular problem of JSPs not evaluating EL is common for people who don't realize the difference between the jsp file (resource) and the web URL that consumes that resource, submitting a URL that pulls the file directly instead of routing it via the FacesServlet. And yes, web.xml controls how URLs are routed.

Someone else just asked the same question, so I recommend searching this forum for the detailed answer given there.

I don't know why I wrote servlet container. I meant that the web.xml specifies the wrong version in the web-app tag. That was my problem on at least one past occasion.
