There are some dependencies on servlet containers. For example, the EL supports implicit objects, one of them being "pageContext", so if you have an expression of the form "${pageContext}", it is evaluated to the PageContext object, which exists only in a servlet environment. > BTW, another option that can be considered is what Sam Ruby mentioned > few times on jakarta-general or community, i.e. just lower the > walls between jakarta projects.

Not sure I exactly understand what "lowering the walls between jakarta projects" means. Would the EL implementation remain a component of the Standard Taglib under this approach? > You may also consider asking for a separate mailing list ( > jakarta-commons-el ?), the traffic on jakarta-commons is already high.
