Hello,
I've set up my Mac with tomcat 5.5.7 using the compat patch. I've also set up my webapp to use spring. I've copied spring.jar, jstl.jar and standard.jar to my ./tomcat/common/lib directory. However when I try to use JSTL I get a strange exception and was hoping someone could help me resolve it.
My test.jsp looks like:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
<%
request.setAttribute("today", new java.util.Date().toString());
%>
<html>
<head>
<title><c:out value="${today}" /></title>
</head>
</html>
The exception I'm getting is:
According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
