Enabling EL on Tomcat 5.0

I am following the book Java Server Pages, 3rd Edition and all samples run in a snap. But when I try to use EL no my pages it doesn't work. I mean if a write: ${1+2+3} I got the ${1+2+3} instead of 6 How should I configure tomcat to evaluate expression? Thanks, Valter

I had a similar problem recently Assuming that you have the appropriate jar files in the appropriate locations you will need the following in your application's web.xml web-app xmlns=http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
