Must use <c:out> in Sun App Server 8.2?

Question

I use ${...} instead of in JSPs; in tomcat 6.0.10, it can parse it successfully. But in SunOne Application Server 8.2, it doesn't support this kind of usage

Answer 1

Bare EL expressions without c:out were introduced with JSP 2.0, so it should work because 'Application Server 8.2 complies with the JSP 2.0 specification' (source). Perhaps the problem is that the JSP page in question specifies version 1.1.
