Hi,
This may be related but I had similar problems...
We're running Jahia on Tomcat 5.0 (JSP 2.0 container).
I wanted to use the <c:import> tag with the url attribute containering
some expression... eg <c:import url="{myURL}"/>. Unfortunatly tomcat had
detected the web.xml for Jahia as a JSP 1.3 web.xml and had gone into
backwards compatability mode where expression language was ignored. In
addition the c:import provided by JSTL 1.0 doesnt allow scriptlet or
expression language. I upgraded to JSTL 1.1 where expression language is
allowed in the tag's attributes as the tag expects the container to
handle it. I also added <%@ page ELIgnored="false %> which causes the
container to evalute expression language - somethign which the jsp 2.0
container can inheritently do, but doesnt because its running in
backwards compatability mode due to the older web.xml file.
This allowed me to use expression language in the jsp pages WITH JSTL tags.
