JSTL version ??? web.xml ??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Tomcat 5.5 , JSTL 1.1 web.xml version 2.4 the following works. But it won't work in a web.xml using version 2.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %> <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %> <jsp:useBean id="myMap" type="java.util.Map" class="java.util.HashMap" scope="session"/> <c:set var="keyVar" value="planet"/> <c:set var="valueVar" value="Earth"/> <c:set target="${myMap}" property="${keyVar}" value="${valueVar}"/> ${myMap[keyVar]} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I mentioned before that DataGrid uses web.xml of version 2.2 but JSTL 1.1 Expression Language requires a web.xml of version 2.4 So you would need to compromise somewhere 1) (from my understanding), you would need to probably downgrade to the JSTL to JSTL 1.0 or lower , research on which version of JSTL is compliant with JSP 1.2 and what syntax is used in EL if you are taking this route. --- I only know EL syntax for JSP 2.0 (Tomcat 5.5.x) , I don't know if the EL syntax is different for lower versions of JSP 1.2 etc. -Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
