I am using ${...} instead <c:out value="${...}"/> in JSP; in tomcat 6.0.10, it can parse it successfully. But in SunOne Application Server 8.2 it doesn't support this kind of use
${...}
<c:out value="${...}"/>
JSP 2.0 introduced simpler EL expressions without c:out , so it should work because "Application Server 8.2 conforms to JSP 2.0 specification" ( source ). Possibly the problem is that the JSP page says option 1.1.
c:out
