jsp-tags

I feel like I am missing something - from what it seems, jsp comes out of the box with support for tags, as this question's answer shows (the guy was asking a pure-jsp question and got an answer involving tags). But if I try to run the given code

<c:out value="${myString}"/>

(with myString defined before, of course), the jsp just writes the above line into the html.

Do I have to do something extra to enable it?

how to prevent jsp tags from being reused after being classloaded

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I have a problem where certain attributes in tag files stick around for the next time the tag is used. I think this is because the Tag class is being classloaded, and then that same instance is reused for every invocation. So attributes that i do not set in later invocations are not null like i would… >>> More
