Very cool, this was a long time needed in JSP. I'm looking forward to this. Cheers, Mark Shawn Bayern wrote: On Sat, 31 Aug 2002, Mark R. Diggory wrote: So, I'm wondering, if EL is going to be available in the JSP 2.0 Core. Does this mean the following? 1.) Most taglibs for JSP 2.0

Is it meaningful that there are no default values?

2002-08-31 Thread David M. Karr
In building the Struts-EL tag library, I haven't ported Struts tags that provide functionality that are directly supported in the JSTL. However, in some of those tags I haven't ported, I have noticed one small feature that isn't strictly provided in their JSTL analogs. The issue is default

The c:out tag has just the sort of 'default' attribute you suggest; you can use it in conjunction with c:set and many other JSTL tags. -- Shawn Bayern JSTL in Action http://www.jstlbook.com On 31 Aug 2002, David M. Karr wrote: In building the Struts-EL tag library, I haven't ported Struts

Any way to import file as a resource?

2002-08-31 Thread David M. Karr
Is there a practical way to import a file as a resource? The c:import tag doesn't quite work. For example, I'd like to read in the /WEB-INF/web.xml file and parse/display it. I can do this with Struts (bean:resource), but I'd like to know for sure whether I can or can't do it with pure JSTL.

No indexed access ala Struts?

2002-08-31 Thread David M. Karr
I don't think this is available in the EL, but I'll ask just to make sure. Struts property references allow you to specify array indices, like arrayIndexed[3], when you have a method in your bean like this: public int getArrayIndexed(int index) { return (arrayName[index]); }
