Hi Friends,

I am preparing for SCWCD, I have doubts in Expression Language(EL).
I am tried to execute the Simple Example of EL but the syntax prints in the page instead of the attribute value..

Here Example:

1. SimpleServelt.java

public void doGet(HttpservletRequest request, HttpServeltResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

Employee emp = new Emlpoyee(); //assume it is bean class ..
emp.setEmpId("100");
emp.setEmpName("Sample");

request.setAttribute("emp",emp);

RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("/sample.jsp");
request.forword(request, response);
}
}

2. sample.jsp
<html>
<body>
The EmpId is : ${emp.empId};
The EmpName is : ${emp.empName};
</body>
</html>

3.output
The EmpId is : ${emp.empId};
The EmpName is : ${emp.empName};

Note:
I am using apache tomcat5.5 server

Make sure that you have written your web.xml correctly. Check this FAQ.

Hi ,

Can you use this
<c ut value="${emp.empId}" />
and add this taglib in your jsp :

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>

Thanks,
Amol

You didn't read the FAQ carefully. There's another link in it which tells you how to configure your web.xml. Chech how to configure web.xml for servlets 2.4 here.

Hello,
I am also facing the same problem.

I had declared the web-app as Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1 using Servlet 2.5 Schema

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
<display-name>web app name here</display-name>

I am using Tomcat 6 and JSTL 1.1

What configuration I have to made in the deployment discriptor.

Also will you tell the reason for which the EL is disabled for JSP.

Regards,
Arpit

EL expressions are enabled by default but sometimes the container ignores them (vendor dependent ).

just use the page directive to enable them

<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>

and it will work for sure

Concerning enabling EL by default, I haven't heard of any container behaving strangely. You should not have to use the isELIgnored attribute of the page directive.

Arpit, can you show your full web.xml, and a jsp file which doesn't work ? By the way, what is the filename of your JSP file ?

Also, can you try with the following web.xml ?

Dear Christophe Verré,
I already followed your suggestion to go thrugh the "how toconfigure web.xml" given to Kathiresan Chinnasamy and also posted the same updated previously.

Here is code for your reference

easy.jsp


web.xml


And your were right there is no need to use isElIgnored atribute in page directive. Now the test jstl is working finr. I have tried this compatibility.
Case 1:
Tomcat 6.0(Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1) and was using JSTL 1.2

-- My web.xml was simple

<web-app>
</web-app>

and also removed the isElIgnored attribute

Then also the demo web-app is working.

Case2:
Using Tomcat6(servlet 2.5 and JSp 2.1) and using JSTL 1.1.2(jstl.jar and standard.jar)

Else everything was as in case 1 but it didn't worked out.

Then I added the isELIgnored in page directive and it worked.


Can you explain me the reason behind these. I think case 1 and case 2 are not the corect way for devloping a web-app. What you mentioned is the correct way to configure a web-app.

Regards,
Arpit
