Hi All, thanks for the help. It turned out that I needed to add the following line to the top of my JSP: <%@ page contentType="text/html" isELIgnored="false"%> This tells the JSTL tags to evaluate the runtime expression, or else they assume the rentime will be evaluated before it is passed to the tag. Thanks again for all the help. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4032826#...
