JSP JSTL Expressions not evaluating.

[trakkasure]

I'm trying to get JSTL Expressions working under JBoss 3.2.4 RC1 using the standard download.
When below is a simple JSP page that I am trying to write.
The c:out tag does not evaluate the EL variable. It outputs the explicit value: ${header['User-Agent']}

The example expression is from a JSP tech article on SUN's java site.

Am I missing something that I am supposed to do? I know the taglib is being picked up, since the full c:out tag doesn't appear in the HTML source in the browser.

BEGIN SAMPLE:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>



JSTL Test


<h3>Simple test.</h3>

<c:out value="${header['User-Agent']}" />

The standard HTML tags for HTML/HEAD/TITLE and BODY are also in the example, but where removed by the forum.

I tried modifying the web-app tag to be the following:

< web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4" >

I'm using Tomcat 5 with JBoss 3.2.4 (Was about to test with JBoss4)
After doing that (found this after looking through the forums for several more hours) it still didn't work.

Then.. ohh-yea-gee that's right.. the FREEKIN' CACHE!
So.. I stopped the server, removed tmp and work directories for my app, and it worked.

Hi,

I face exactly the same problem ...

I also had the same problem with JBoss 3.2.3/Tomcat 5

Any ideas meanwhile?

Thanx

Hello again,

for me (on JBoss 3.2.4/Tomcat 5):

<web-app version="2.4"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee web-app_2_4.xsd">

_DID_ work!
