how to use EL

[At Srivs]

i am using EL in struts framework.
i am trying to print a value that is in request attribute and i m retrieving in my jsp
in java class the code is:
ArrayList list= new ArrayList();
list.add("bablu");
list.add("bablu 1");
request.setAttribute("list",list);

and in jsp the code is:
${list}
but the problem is that my jsp is printing it as a normal text.

Please help me.

Hi ankit !!!

If it print "${list}", it means that EL are ignored in your JSP.
You have to add allowed EL in your JSP by adding the directive:

<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %> 

or the equivalent XML syntax;

<jsp:  directive.page isELIgnored="false"/>

Hope it help.

You don't need to set the isELIgnored attribute. Make sure that your web.xml is configured to use Servlets 2.4, not 2.3. Look at this FAQ for more information on this.
