Using the standard (JSTL) tag library ...






I'm using JWSDP 1.1 that includes  JSTL 1.0.3 under Tomcat 4.1.18

Can I use EL  outside of the JSTL tags  ?

Like using ${param.server} in the code below:

    <frameset cols="20%,*">
            <frame name="allpackages"
src="allpackages.jsp?server=${param.server}">
            <frame name="details" src="details.jsp?server=${param.server}">
    </frameset>

So far it doesn't work. I read that there are two versions:
      "This document describes an expression language (EL) for JSP. This
expression
      language has two versions: one applicable to the JSP Standard Tag
Library (JSTL),
      the other applicable to JSP 1.3."  (from JavaServerPages: Standard
Tag Library  V.10)
but I even don't know what JSP version Tomcat 4.1 supports.
