Sorry this was posted not too long ago but I can't find it in the archives. What are the JSTL 1.0 defined functions? (for trimming etc) -Tim
See below. Please note that these EL functions are only available in JSTL 1.1.

On another side Note:
Wouldn't it be good as well to provide a standard set of "static" methods available in "java.lang" / "java.util" in general including things like String concatenation, substrings, comparision, math and dates? Sounds like the start of a "Standard EL functions" library?
JSTL 1.1 includes 16 standardized functions.
Length function: - To get the length of a collection or string (length)
String manipulation functions:
- Change the capitalization of a string (toLowerCase, toUpperCase)
- Get a subset of a string (substring, substringAfter, substringBefore)
- Trim a string (trim)
- Replace characters in a string (replace)
- Check if a string contains another string (indexOf, startsWith, endsWith, contains, containsIgnoreCase)
- split a string (split) into an array, and join an array into a string (join)
- Escape XML characters in the string (escapeXml)
The JSTL Expert Group did not go overboard with functions in JSTL 1.1 because it is not clear yet how the EL will evolve in the future. If the EL ever allows method invocation, then many of the above functions would not be required.
