Hi, I have a weird behavior using the jakarta tag-lib with the JSTL forEach tag where when I apply the substring tag to a c:out tag the substring tag only works on the first iteration?
<c:forEach items="${r.rows}" var="value" varStatus="status" > <tr align='center' > <td><c:out value="${value.sex}"/> </td> <td><c:out value="${value.name}"/> </td> <td><str:substring start="0" end="4"><c:out value='${value.lastName}'/></str:substring></td> </tr> </c:forEach> </table> Any ideas? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Cooper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tag Libraries Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 1:31 AM Subject: RE: Is there a way to call java.lang.String.substring on a <c: ou t ? > As the documentation for the String taglib states, it is built on the > Commons Lang component.
