      Hi,
      I tried the following simple jsp with Jboss4.0.2 and JSTL 1.1.2:

      ......
      <c:forEach var="i" begin="1" end="5">
      <c:out value="${i}"/>
      </c:forEach>
      ......

      I saw the ...${i} ${i} ${i} ${i} ${i} ...... on the page.

      What's going on. I tried it with own tomcat5 it worked.

      Thanks in advance,
      Wade

          I had the same problem. However what seemed to help was that I

          1. Put the following into the WEB-INF\web.xml :

          <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 web-app_2_4.xsd"
 version="2.4"
 >


          2. Stopped the server
          3. Deleted server\default\tmp -work and -log
          4. Restarted the server

          I don't see a good reason why it should be this difficult, but so it seems. Good luck for you.

            Hi,
            Thanks for the reply. Yes, you are absolutely right. However it does not completely solve my problem. I was using JBoss IDE to create a JSP page template each time when I created a new JSP page. JBoss IDE always adds the following at the beginning of the new JSP page:

            <%@page contentType="text/html" %><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

            Somehow this causes the expression not evaluated. After I delete these pre-generated lines. It works.

            BR,
            Wade

              I think the recommended way is to add this to the top of the page:
              <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

              So if JBossIDE puts some other %@ directive there, it may get confused. If you take them out alltogether and it still works, great. So it seems JBossIDE is not quite up-to-date. I'd hope that the Eclipse WebToolsProject has good support for JSTL, haven't checked it yet.

              Cheers
