thanks to you all. Unfortunately I am stuck to JSTL 1.0 since I use Tomcat 4 with JSP 1.2. I am aware now that JSP 2.0 offers a lot improvements. However, I do not feel very comfortable with the idea to setup static methods for each el function. I am also very interested in the technical aspects: why are not non-static methods supported?

This ability to define static functions for use in JSP 2.0 is/will be a great, very useful improvement to JSP. But what about for non-static methods - is it possible to do something similar but with non-static functions? -Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
