OK. What I have found to be the issue is that you have to define a
context. If you don't for some reason that given directory can run
jsp's and tag libraries fine, but the EL does not work in them. The
setup I had was for a different host. So I had only defined my base
context. Then I had a jsp directory which had not been defined to be in
a context. This directory was sitting parallel to my ROOT directory so
I have ROOT and jsp in the same directory. I guess the confusing part
is the error messages. If tomcat would say. Context required to run
JSP or servlets I think that would help some of the questions. Probably
more informative error messages to match what the setup requires. Does
this sound like a good idea?
