Hello All,
I am having a JSTL test page as below

easy.jsp


At the first run I got an exception for URI Path. So I added jstl.jar and standard.jar file in the lib dir of this web-app. And here is the result

Output

JSP is as easy as....
1+2+3=${1+2+3}

But the output should be

JSP is as easy as....
1+2+3=6

Have I missed something inspite of adding the above said jar files. Do I have to add the tld and where.


Regards,
Arpit

Looks like you have EL disabled for your JSP. What is the container you are using ? Are you have anything to do with EL in the web.xml in the application ?

I am using Apache Tomcat 6 and there is nothing in web.xml related to EL.

What is the version of your web.xml (inside <web-app>) ?

Hi Ulf, There's a small typo ( "Servlers 2.3 DOCTYPE" ) in it.

It's a wiki - go ahead and fix it :-) Username/password are the same as for the Saloon.

Place the EL expression outside of the <c:out> tag to make sure that the EL is working properly. If not, then that's the issue that must be addressed before worrying about the JSTL.

You don't need a book, just the JSTL Specification.

So you say that the EL works outside of the <c:out> tag? If so, your web app is correctly configured.

OK, now put the <c:out> tag back in and see what's being sent to the browser with a View Source. If the <c:out> tag is still there, that means that the JSTL is not being evaluated.

So you'd rather use a band-aid and some bubble gum to hold your web app together than to get it working and configured correctly?

Thanks Bibeault,
I understood what you want to say. From now onwards, I will configure my all web-apps correctly instead of trying bubble gum and band-aids to make things working. Is correct configuration for web-app available in JSTL 1.2 Specification? Where I can find it?

Thanks once again for your adivce,

Arpit

There's no configuration. Once the EL is working -- you said it was working, correct? -- using the EL is as easy as dropping the jar file into WEB-INF/lib.

That's it.

You haven't answered the questions that I posed earlier yet...

Perhaps you missed my first post?
