[S2] EL support: Tomcat's Jasper instead of JUEL

Hi all!
I experimented the use of Tomcat's Jasper implementation of EL instead
of JUEL at Tiles, and it seems to work pretty well:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tiles/framework/trunk/tiles-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tiles/evaluator/el/

So I managed to remove dependency on JUEL (that is a nightmare when
deployed under a JSP 2.1 container, due to its javax.el libraries) and
use "official" Glassfish EL APIs and Tomcat implementation.
Do you think that we could do the same for Struts 2?

Thanks
Antonio

No, EL is part of the JSP specification since 2.0 version, so you can
find it (again!!! and I don't like it :-D ) under:

      <dependency>
         <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
         <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
         <version>2.1</version>
         <scope>provided</scope>
      </dependency>

JSTL (API and implementation) 1.2 is here:

      <dependency>
         <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
         <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
         <version>1.2</version>
         <scope>runtime</scope>
      </dependency>

Useful to know, thanks.

Does this replace the original jakarta-taglibs standard.jar or the 
javax.servlet.jstl.jar?

Eh, it's a bit complicated, since the Glassfish team does not like
Maven 2 very much. Here they are anyway:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.el</groupId>
      <artifactId>el-api</artifactId>
      <version>1.0</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

You have to add the repository too:

    <repository>
      <id>java_net</id>
      <url>http://download.java.net/maven/1/</url>
      <layout>legacy</layout>
    </repository>

Notice that Maven 2 repository of java.net contains a
not-compiled-correctly version of the API. I sent an e-mail to the
Glassfish team, but it seems that they won't update it :-(

Hi Antonio
what are the official Glassfish EL APIs? Do you know their maven groupId and 
artifactId?
