I am running Tomcat 5.5 on Windows. I am trying to get a JSP page that contains an expression like: ${1+2+3} but, it doesnt evaluate. None of those $ expressions evaluate. I get output of ${1+2+3} when wanted to see '6'.



I have added the current jstl.jar and standard.jar to the WEB-INF/lib. I have copied TLD files to their locations. and the jstl core libraries and such work fine. Its just the EL that isnt evaluating.



Any ideas? thanks.
