[Solved] According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute items does not accept any expressions.
Error Message: According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute items does not accept any expressions. When working on a J2EE (Java Enterprise Edition) web application with JSTL (JSP Standard Tag Library), this is a pretty common error.
Check the web.xml to see whether it uses the Servlet 2.3 DTD or Servlet 2.4 Schema.
If it uses Servlet 2.3 DTD, it will have the following text.
For Servlet 2.4 Schema, it will look like below.
When you change the versions correctly, no such errors will pop-up. Hope this will help you.
Reason for this error is version incompatibility between JSP, Servlet and JSTL.Matching versions are listed below.
- JSP 1.2 , Servlet 2.3 , JSTL 1.0
