Thanks Bruce, That works great. I (wrongly) believed that pageScope was equivalent to pageContext and thus JSP implicit objects like session and request were accessible to EL without qualification. Thanks for clearing that up. :-)
For the record, the following JSTL/JSP results in the subsequent output: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] contentType="text/html"%> <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %> <html> <head><title>JSP Page</title></head> <body> pageContext.session.id = <c:out value="${pageContext.session.id}" /><br> sessionScope.id = <c:out value="${sessionScope.id}"/><br> session.id = <c:out value="${session.id}"/><br> session.getId() = <% out.write(session.getId()); %><br> </body> </html> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- pageContext.session.id = A0B07F762892D8DF8EFE6B7C41B290C5 sessionScope.id = session.id = session.getId() = A0B07F762892D8DF8EFE6B7C41B290C5 David Foote ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Perry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tag Libraries Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 4:00 AM Subject: Re: why can't I access implicit object properties in EL > > Try: > > > <c:out value="${pageContext.session.id}" /> > > similarly: <c:out value="${pageContext.request.requestURL}" /> > > applicationScope, sessionScope, and requestScope are JSTL implicit > variables that store object attributes, such as session attributes. > > I would get ahold of the JSTL specification and just leaf through the > implicit objects to review what they represent. > > Bruce > > > On Monday, June 9, 2003, at 01:50 AM, Jon Archer wrote: > > > try <c:out value="${sessionScope.id}" /> > > > > and similarly requestScope.something > > > > > > On Sun, 2003-06-08 at 23:41, David N.
