Jason, Make sure your deployment descriptor (web.xml) is servlet 2.4 based, as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <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"> <!-- web-app specific content --> </web-app> For an explanation of why this should solve your problem, please see Appendix A of the JSTL spec (Compatibility and Migration). -- Pierre Jason Pincin wrote: > Greetings, > > I'm fairly new to JSP and the java paradigm in general, and am trying to get > my feet wet with some simple pages.
