I have created Spring 3.0 application where after Login user get displayed jsp page as “temp.jsp”.

In temp.jsp I am using below code (using JSTL code in jsp)

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<% String[] name = {"Hello", "you", "are", "using", "jstl", "in", "jsp"};
request.setAttribute("name", name);
%>
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
i m here <BR>
<c:forEach items="${name}" var="itemName">
${itemName}
<br />
</c:forEach>
</body>
</html>

When I comment the code from<c:forEach to </c:forEach, the jsp gets executed (display output as i m here), however when I uncomment the bolded code of lines, I get error as shown below

I am using Eclipse & J2EE Preview Server!!!

I tried removing/adding jar files as suggested on few forums, but NO LUCK 🙁

Thanks in advance for help!!!

NOTE : Actually I want to display the mysql data, but before that I want to check the JSTL code that I am using and hence I am testing the above code of jstl (temp.jsp).

I think the problem is jar conflict, If you remove jsp-api.2.0 from your web-inf/lib that should solve the problem. I am looking at jsp-api-2.1.jar file and I see that javax.el.ValueExpression is packaged in this jar and the same class is part of tomcats library jar (el-api.jar).

UPDATE

I did not realize that you are using j2ee preview server, Here are the things you need to do for your code to work

You need to use older version of jstl jar, I say use jstl-1.1.2.jar
Since java preview server does not provide support for el, You need to add javax.el.jar to your web-inf/lib folder
