Thanks to both the suggestions about JSP 2.0 e.g. implemented first in tomcat 5, I ended up on the following page: http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0305&L=jsp-interest&D=0&P=24887 And actually I was using a web.xml version 2.3, it seems EL is disabled there by default :( Using a 2.4 version, it does work perfectly. But this is kinda stupid, I am using a web.xml file shown as a demo in the official tomcat 5.0.27 distribution. I don't quite get why it was using a web.xml of this older version.
