Ranchers;
I am having a hard time understanding what they are saying in the last part of the very last item in the black "Key Points and Gotchas with <c:set>" box. I can't get null when using a non-property in the EL, but I still get an exception, rather than a null value.
When I create the bean and use the <c:set> tag to set the property, it works fine.
This is fine because, then I get the output I expect:
We think the cats name is : Fluffy
But then when I added a line at the end of the
JSP that says:
, then my app blows up with:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to find a value for "junk" in object of class "CatBean" using operator "."
Thanks for any clarification as to what they are saying in this final bullet point.
