Could I use jstl tag in the JSP page of Creator 2 final release?

Question

I have a JSP page used to work well in Creator 2EA2. The page
has the following code snippets:
<c:forEach items="${SessionBean1.webQuery1.details}" var="item">
                                                    <tr>
                                                        <td class="detailKey">
                                                            <c:out value="${item.key}"/>
                                                        </td>
                                                        <td class="detailValue">
                                                            <c:out value="${item.value}"/>
                                                        </td>
                                                    </tr>
                                                </c:forEach>
...Basically, it generates a table columns.
After migrating to Creator2 final release, a fatal exception is thrown
when the page is launched :
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the web application. Please review the following stack trace for more information regarding the error.
Exception Details: org.apache.jasper.JasperException

There is something strange in the HTML for you posedt, so I cannot clearly see what you are trying to do in your JSP page. But either of the following kinds of usage would cause this kind of error:
    <h:dropDown ... items="<%= ...some Java expression ...>"/>or
    <h:dropDown ... items="${...some JSP EL expression...}"/>This is because JSF component tags allow neither Java runtime expressions nor JSP EL expressions (at least in JSF 1.1, which is what Creator 2 supports). The answer is to use a JSF EL expression instead, like this:
    <h:dropDown ... items="#{... some EL expression}"/>Craig
