JSTL without el to bind in spring

[vamsi kris]

Hi All,

I am deploying a web application in sap server environment. which does not support EL.

I am using spring web mvc. I need to bind a list using spring bind. for that i have used jstl and el and tested in apache server 5.5. Now i am unable to change the code with out el and deploy in sap server.

I am new to jstl and el. You can provide me learning resources on jstl, el and use of jstl where el is not supported

Is there a way to use jstl without el. Are is there any way to use spring binding without jstl and el.

This is my code used to bind a list.

 <c:forEach  items="${asset.properties}" var="propertyRow" varStatus="property" >
							<tr>
								<td><spring:bind path="asset.properties[0].name">
							  		<c:out value="${status.value}"></c:out>
							  		</spring:bind></td>
								<td><spring:bind path="asset.properties[0].value" >
							  		<input type="text" id="<c:out value="${status.expression}" ></c:out>" name="<c:out value="${status.expression}" ></c:out>" value="" />
							  		</spring:bind>
							 	</td>
							</tr>
							</c:forEach>   

I have tried using scriptlets, but it didn't work as scriptlets are run time and spring tags are compile time evaluation.
Please help me. SAP EP does not support EL.
Thanks a lot.

What version of the JSP Specification is supported? 1.2? 2.0? 2.1?

That's information that is vital.

Hi,

We are using JSP 1.2, servlet 2.3 and Java 1.4, in the SAP Portal.

Hi,

We are using JSP 1.2.

Then you should be using JSTL 1.0 which provides an EL implementation that you can use within the JSTL tags (but not in template text).
