jstl problem with c:out

csfalcon · 07-13-2005, 04:48 PM

Hi,

I have this simple hello world code for jstl

Code:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
...
<c:set var="hello" value="Hello World!"/>
<c:out value="${hello}"/>

it is suppose to print out "Hello World!", but instead it prints "${hello}". I have included jstl.jar and standard.jar into the class path. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks.

Try removing the quote from around ${hello}.

<c:out value=${hello}/>

I believe the quotes are needed, if I remove them I get this error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /index.jsp(13,17) quote symbol expected

I forgot to mention I am using Eclipse 3.1 with Web Tool plugin to develop and deploy the webapps.

Works fine with NetBeans 4.1 and jdk 5.0.
