That was definitely the case in earlier 5.5 versions ... it's
disappointing if they still haven't fixed it.


Theres an on going vote on Tomcat 5.5.24 - might be worth seeing if
its resolve in that version:

I don't know how Shale Test Framework supports EL - but with the new
"Unified EL" spec, which is independant of servlet/jsf it might be an
idea to plug that into the test framework. Apache Tomcat has released
separate jars which are now available in the maven repo.

Its not coupled at all - the problem was that jsf and jsp had
different el flavours - the unfied EL was decoupled from JSP and
released as a separate spec. The reason its been labelled "unified"
was because its underpinned the next (can't remember version numbers)
releases of both JSP and JSF:

and rightly so - the trends are stark:

Overall: http://shale.markmail.org/search/?q=
Dev: http://tinyurl.com/2d3e92
Commits: http://tinyurl.com/2synvm

Unless those trends start to reverse, the only glimmer of hope on the
horizon is/was the proposal to move the code to MyFaces.
