EL Functions

[Todd Farmer]

I'm preparing for the SCWCD exam, and working through EL functions. I've taken the examples in HFS and played around with them, learning how to pass in parameters (using fully-qualified class names, no parameter name in the <function-signature> element), but I'm wondering about passing anything other than hard-coded parameters in. For instance, the following works just fine:

<function>
<name>Ucase</name>
<function-class>test.scwcd.util.Functions</function-class>
<function-signature>java.lang.String toCaps(java.lang.String)</function-signature>
</function>
 
  

 
Upper casing "test":  ${cert:Ucase("test")}

But the following EL function in the JSP does not work:

Upper casing "test":  ${cert:Ucase(${param.test})}

Is there any way to pass a variable to an EL function?

Thanks!

Nevermind, I figured it out myself. The following works:

    Upper casing "test":  ${cert:Ucase(param.test)}
