We are running Tomcat 6.0 with Spring 3.0.5 an for some reason we can not get the jsps to evaluate the ${blah}. This is a maven project with many separate modules if that matters, Eclipse Helios.

Here is a snipped of my web.xml

<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5" 
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
<display-name>xc.rio</display-name>...

And it isn’t this (<%@ page isELIgnored=”false” %>) because when I put this in my jsp the page is rendered as text only meaning

<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>
<HTML>
...${blah}...

${2+2} is not evaluated. Also I have tried this on tomcat 7. =-(

Update:
I have done a standalone spring and nonspring app and EL works. I was thinking it had something to do with the viewResolver, but that isn’t it either I guess.

    Try removing the <mvc:default-servlet-handler/> that causes spring to serve up pages as a static resources.
