Tomcat is not processing jstl ${}

I am running tomcat7 on an Amazon EC2 Linux instance. For some reason that I cannot figure out, the jstl ${} syntax is not getting processed. What is weird, at least in my mind, is that the <c:forEach /> tags are getting processed correctly.

So for example, I have this in my jsp

<c:forEach items="${flavors}" var = "f">
    ${f.value}
</c:forEach>

And this is what is getting printed on my page : ${f.value}.

So, the <c:forEach /> tag does not get printed out but the ${} synatax does.

I have verifed that there are 4 elements in the flavors list by viewing them with <%= request.getAttribute("flavors")%>.

Any idea what is going on and how to fix this?

Thanks!

EDIT: Added relevant portion of my pom.xml

  <groupId>jstl</groupId>
  <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
  <version>${jstl.version}</version>
</dependency>

  <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
