GWT 1.6 Jetty Server and Expression Language

[Mr. Taylor]

I am trying to use expression language with Jetty and would like to
know if Jetty is able to parse a page with expression language. Should
I go back to using tomcat? I have the required jars inside the war/
web-inf/lib folder.

i.e. <c:out value="${relativeUrl}/js/gwt.nocache.js"/>

Thanks,
LT

I just ran in to this problem myself and I found this post on Stack

The solution is to replace these lines in the web.xml file

<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>

with

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
