4.1.24 jsp taglib evaluation problem

[John Thorhauer <jt...@phoenixcolor.com>]

Hi,

I have a web application that runs fine on tomcat 4.1.18 but is having a
problem in 4.1.24.  I posted this problem to the tomcat list but didnt
get much of a response.  The problem seems to be related to the use of a
tiles definition in a jsp page and the use of the jstl c:out tag for
biulding part of the tiles definition. Here is the source for the .jsp
page:

==========================================
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/permitted-taglibs" prefix="permitted" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html-el" prefix="html"     %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-tiles"  prefix="tiles" %>
<%@ taglib uri='/tags/core' prefix='c'%>

<tiles:insert page="/layout/layout.jsp"       
controllerUrl="/myapp/viewDispatcher.do?method=
    <c:out  value='${param.method}'/>">

    <tiles:put name="header" value="null"/>
    <tiles:put name="body" value="null"/>
    <tiles:put name="footer" value="null"/>
  </tiles:insert>
==========================================

When I load the above page in tomcat 4.1.18 the c:out code 
<c:out value='${param.method}'/> properly outputs the value of the
"method" parameter that was passed in via the URI.  However, in tomcat
4.1.24 the c:out tag is not evaluated so I am getting a method that is
acutally shows the literal <c:out  value='${param.method}'/>"> insead of
the value of the method parameter that was passed into the page.

I checked the java source that is being produced from the .jsp page in
both versions of Tomcat and they are identical.  I also checked to make
sure that the "method" parameter was available by doing the following:

<%
System.err.println("the method=" + request.getParameter("method"));
%>

and in both versions of the server the "method" parameter is in the
request parameters.  I also noticed that in both versions if I do the
following in the .jsp page:

<c:out  value='${param.method}'/>

it seems to work just fine.

Any ideas on what the problem is here and how to fix it?

Thanks,
John
