Page Parsing

If using Tomcat 5.5, EL expressions in JSPs will not automatically parse. This is due to the fact that Tomcat 5.5 supports an older version of the web XSD than the web.xml produced by Skyway. Applications will of course run, but Tomcat defaults to EL expressions off if it cannot detect a supported web XSD. An easy solution is to explicitly instruct each JSP to enable ELParsing. Simply adding the bolded attribute to the page tag will enable this. 

   <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
   pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" isELIgnored="false" %>

If you are creating your JSPs in Eclipse, then this attribute is automatically added if you use Skyway JSP File as the default template when making new JSPs.
