However, when I run this script, I see only the following:

Am I missing an important step?

Yes. EL doesn't access local Java variables, only objects stored on one
of the scopes (request, session, page application). First example I
found of what to do (for page scope):

I don't see the value of titleText



that's because I forgot an important step:

<%
String titleText = MyProperties.getValue(MyProperties.CONFIG,
"COMMON_VALUE");
pageContext.setAttribute("titleText", titleText);
%>

<c:import url="/header.jsp" context="/common" >
<c:param name="title" value="${pageScope.titleText}" />
</c:import>




when I use EL to attempt to display it.  The web module's web.xml
deployment descriptor indicates I am using version 2.4 of the XSD as
well as that I am using JSP 2.0 with JSTL 1.2.  Deploying onto
WebSphere 6.0.
