This custom tag library requires a servlet container that supports the
JavaServer Pages Specification, version 1.2.
The tag library also works in some JSP version 1.1 servlet containers,
such as Tomcat, but not in others, such as Weblogic. The tags in this tag
library are designed according to the JSP 1.2 specification, which makes
this requirement of the <jsp:getProperty ... /> tag:
The value of the name attribute in jsp:setProperty and jsp:getProperty
will refer to an object that is obtained from the pageContext object
through its findAttribute() method.
The JSP 1.1 specification does not require this behaviour, and while
Tomcat happens to support it, Weblogic does not. Note that it is fairly
straightforward to write a custom tag that emulates this behaviour for
Weblogic users. Sample source code for such a tag can be found here.

The only JSP 1.1 limitation is that JSP 1.1 does not specify the behaviour
of the jsp:getProperty tag, which you can work around by writing your own
tag. This issue is unrelated to your problem.
