Is it possible to overload an EL function? Please look at following piece of TLD:



And following piece of JSP to call above two overloaded functions:



When I try to run the JSP, I get following error:

Duplicate function name rollIt in tag library /WEB-INF/eltest.tld

Could anyone please confirm that EL functions cannot be overloaded!
Thanks!

I guess, the answer is Yes. But as suggested by Kumar, the names that map to the function definitions have to be unique.

JSP2.0 Specs, JSP2.6.2, page:1-77,

A tag library can have only one function element in the same tag library with the same value for their name element. If two functions have the same name, a translation-time error shall be generated.
