Hi,
I am facing a funny problem with Expression Language in JSP specs 2.0. Whenever I write any statement using EL , the entire string gets printed as HTML output.
For e.g. If I write something like, say,
<HTML>
<BODY>
the result of 2*2 is : ${2*2}
</BODY>
</HTML>
I get the output as:the result of 2*2 is : ${2*2}
Please help me with the problem.
Thanks in advance
Dinesh
Hi BalusC,
I appreciate your interest.
Do you mean that whilst writing any EL we have to use
<c:out>
${2*2}
</c:out>
please reply.

I recommend you to start off with a JSTL tutorial.

Hi BalusC ,
Thanks a lot. The <c:out> tag works.
I will start with the JSTL tutorial that u have recommended.

Take another look at the JSP2.0 spec. Specifically section 3.3.2
-
The default mode for JSP pages in a Web Application delivered using a
web.xml using the Servlet 2.3 or earlier format is to ignore EL expressions; this
provides for backward compatibility.
Check your web.xml file that it declares itself as version 2.4 or greater.
