Personally, I'd keep JSTL/Standard in WEB-INF/lib and Xerces/Xalan in endorsed.
Unless I needed an app-specific version of the XML libs, in which case I'd need
them in WEB-INF/lib. I wouldn't recommend dumping everything in endorsed, or
some other directory that a shared classloader can access,

So, you no longer need the c:out tag. Just do:
p1 + 2 + 3 = ${1+2+3}/p
Check out Tomcat's default pages to see more cool things you can do with
Tomcat 5 (JSP 2.0/Servlet2.4).

My XHTML JSP contains a simple construct: p1 + 2 + 3 = c:out
value=${1+2+3}//p
But the expression is not being evaluated, yet the c:out tag is being
processed fine. The output just looks like:

Since you're using a JSP 2.0 container, you should be able to just do:
p1 + 2 + 3 = ${1+2+3}/p
Make sure you're using a Servlet 2.4 deployment descriptor.
That didn't work for me. Perhaps it's your last comment. What does it mean
to have a 2.4 deployment descriptor for the JSP page? Maybe
I think you need to indicate in the web.xml that this is a jsp version 2
web
application, otherwise the container assumes the web application is
written for
an old jsp version where not the container but the taglib does the EL
evaluation
(you would need the 1.0.5 taglib version for this).

Thanks. The comments below did it for me. However, I still had some JAR
file location issues (tomcat's common/endorsed for the webapps WEB-INF/lib).
Do most people put the XERCES, XALAN, JSTL/STANDARD jars in the endorsed
location or do they just keep it with their webapps? Right now, I seem
