Hi. After some hours trying to execute a simple example of a taglib (displaytag), just one moment before going completely crazy, I've found the problem.
I wanted to make a query to a database and show the results in a table using the display tag library. But the expression language was not recognized by Tomcat. After searching in Google, I've found that I have to put some attributes in the web-app tag of my web.xml in order to enable this feature. Something like this: <web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";> .... </web-app> With this schema I can put EL in the attributes of the tags I use, such as: <sql:query dataSource="${db}" var="result"> ... </sql:query> ... but I cannot put them OUTSIDE the tags, I can't do something like this: <html> <body> Hello ${param.name} </body> </html> To achieve this, I have to add some tags in web.xml: <jsp-property-group> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> <el-ignore>false</el-ignore> </jsp-property-group> So my question is... Why the hell Tomcat does not accept EL by default in ANY place of ANY page? How is it possible that, after some years of standardization of the EL Tomcat rejects it outside the tags by default? Any other clean idea to make this work in a web application without introducing this code in each web.xml? Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
