Does Websphere Commerce 7 support JSTL 1.1 XML in widgets?

Question

I have made a new blank widget and added it to a page. All the JSTL tags work normally in its JSP, but trying to do for example

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml" prefix="x" %>
<x:set var="test"/>

results in an UnresolvableException

I also have no idea what EC_device is and where it is coming from. JSTL XML tags are not used anywhere else in the project, so I cannot verify whether they work at all, and hence that is what I'm asking.

Answer 1

JSTL tags are still valid, it will be an error elsewhere in the code... maybe down to the new directory structure when a widget uses existing resources?
