Hi,
I am trying to use EL in JSP,as EL syntax is ${first.secondvalue},but whenever i write this in my program and i run it,it is showing like this only not the value which it has to show.
I think that EL is not being enabled in my jsp.
I write <jsp-property-tag> in web.xml (DD)to enable it,but still it is not being enabled.
So help me so that I can run EL in my JSP page.

Example JSP used as default page on a new Web Application project on Netbeans:
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>JSP Page</h1>
<%--
This example uses JSTL, uncomment the taglib directive above.
To test, display the page like this: index.jsp?sayHello=true&name=Murphy
--%>
<%--
<c:if test="${param.sayHello}">
<!-- Let's welcome the user ${param.name} -->
Hello ${param.name}!
</c:if>
--%>
</body>
</html>
Also, add the jstl.jar and standard.jar jars to your WEB-INF/lib application directory.
Hi,
I have found that EL is new feature,and for this jsp version should be 2.0 but in my machine I have jsp version 1.2,so i think this is the problem why EL is not runnning on my machine.So could you please tell what I have to do to get this new version 2.0 of jsp,for this the 2 jar files get changed or something different.
Waiting for reply.

Upgrade your container ( example , if you are using Tomcat switch to Tomcat 5.5.x , if you want JSP2.0 and Servlet 2.4 , the JAR files are located under Tomcat's lib folder)
Also change your web.xml web-app tag, it should be that of Servlet 2.4 version.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want JSP 2.1 and Servlet 2.5 then upgrade to Tomcat 6.x -
JSP 2.1 supports Unified EL, which is the next version of the traditional EL .
Unified EL works with both JSF 1.2 and JSP 2.1
Google is your friend, so search on Google for Tomcat 6.0 and it will show you were you can get it from.
Take a look at the Apache Tomcat Version Chart here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html
Servlet 2.5/ JSP 2.1 -- Tomcat 6.0.10
Servlet 2.4/ JSP 2.0 -- Tomcat 5.5.23
Since you want Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 which are required for JSTL 1.1, you could get Tomcat 5.5.x , instead of Tomcat 6.0.x
Although I don't know if Tomcat 6 is backwards compatible with Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 , if it is then it's cool to get Tomcat 6.x
