That is, if your scoped variable name is "foo.bar", then the following are NOT equivalent: ${applicationScope.foo.bar} ${applicationScope["foo.bar"]} And wrt the mailing list question, the "taglibs-user" list is often where these issues are discussed, although now with the EL moving into JSP 2.0, this list may be seeing more of these questions. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
