And run in a Servlet 2.4 / JSP 2.0 container of course ;-)
Not only will EL expressions work for attributes in any tag (as long as the
attribute accepts runtime expressions), it will also work in template text.
Consider a snippet like this to display a table of stuff from a list of
customer beans in a scoped variable named "customers":
<table>
<tr>
<th>Account Id</th>
<th>Customer Name</th>
<th>Total Sales</th>
</tr>
<c:forEach var="customer" items="customers">
<tr>
<td>${customer.accountId}</td>
<td>${customer.name}</td>
<td>${customer.totalSales}</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
JSP 2.0 has lots of other cool things to, including the ability to point at a
chunk of JSP code and treat it just like a tag, without having to write
anything in Java.
