Time to update your JSP knowledge with the JSTL and EL. 10 years is long enough, don't you think?
I said expression tag taking him to be a beginner. You don't expect a beginner to directly start with JSTL and EL.
I absolutely do! Scriptlets are not for beginners -- they are
old technology. Beginnners should learn the new technologies and develop good habits right away. Why should they learn something that they're not supposed to use? Why instill bad practices and bad habits at the outset?
Would you suggest that Java beginners learn Java 1.1 rather than Java 6 or 7?
Java code in a JSP is a bad practice for beginners and the experienced alike, and should never, ever, be used in any web page created after 2002.
