Shouldn't taglib's declaration use 2.0 schema? Also slash is missing:

<taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2eeweb-jspt ... ry_2_4.xsd"
version="2.0">

Should be

http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-jsp ... ry_2_0.xsd

or maybe

http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-j ... ry_2_1.xsd

, but then other things would have to change too:
.

I think it is ok. It doesn't really affect the question or the answer.

I posted a question in coderanch.com similar to this question. See http://www.coderanch.com/t/615198/java- ... -tag-files
It seems the outcome is container specific. For body content "tagdepent", in webshere, the expression like <%= 3*4 %> is ignored, and not output as plain text as your correct answer indicates. In JBoss, the expression would cause an error.
Did you try it in Tombcat to get it as plain text as output?
