I have created a test environment in WSAD 4.0.
I am trying to use EL in my JSP and have imported the related jars in lib folder including jstl_el and jstl.

for line <%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>
It gives error
JspTranslate: Page directive: Invalid attribute, isELIgnored.TestEL.jspTestWeb/WebContent

If I remove <%@ page isELIgnored="false" %> then it throws error at next line

JspTranslate: Unable to open taglibrary http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core : JSPG0127E: Could not locate TLD META-INF/taglib.tld.TestEL.jspTestWeb/WebContent

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<%@ page
language="java"
contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
%>
<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="IBM WebSphere Studio" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
<link href="theme/Master.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<title>TestEL.jsp</title>
</head>
<body>

Please guide me. Also tell me what to write in uri to use core tags such as <c:forEach>. I am connected to internet while running it on server.

Thanks

Parul,
WSAD 4 uses J2EE 1.3. Does that version of J2EE support EL? I thought it was added more recently than that.

Just to clarify: The use of JSTL tags which use EL is supported in J2EE 1.3. However, EL not embedded in a JSTL tag is only supported in J2EE 1.4. That also means that the directive <%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>
is not supported in J2EE 1.3.
