using scripting with standard jstl tags

[Joshua Antony]

Can we use scripting with standard JSTL tags like below ?

<c:set var="test">
     <%=request.getParameter("name")%>
</c:set>

The c:out tag body-content is JSP, so scripting is accepted.

ok, just had a look at JSTL library documentation, found that the body content for most of the tags are JSP.

Does that mean that the tag handlers for these tags are classic tags since simple tag cannot have scripting in its body ?

Good guess

By the way, if you sneak in Jakarta's implementation, you'll find out that the c:out is an org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.rt.core.OutTag which extends BodyTagSupport.
