i have the following JSP:
<%# page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%# page isELIgnored="false"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title><c:out value="${it.title}"/></title>
</head>
<body>
<c:forEach var="speaker" items="${it.speakers}" varStatus="stat">
<ul>
<li><c:out value="${speaker.person.firstName}" /> <c:out value="${speaker.person.lastName}" />, <c:out value="${speaker.person.address.city.zip}" /> <c:out value="${speaker.person.address.city.name}" /></li>
</ul>
</c:forEach>
</body>
</html>
Eclipse warns me about every instance of EL Expressions in my code:
Warning [line 10]: "value" does not support runtime expressions
Warning [line 13]: "items" does not support runtime expressions
...
this is however not true, EL gets evaluated correctly by the server.
Can anyone hint me in the right direction why eclipse is warning me about those EL expressions?
Your taglib directive imports a JSTL 1.0 taglib. It should be JSTL 1.1 instead (note the difference in URI):
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
Possible solution (found here):
Twin Libraries
The JSTL tag libraries come in two
versions which differ only in the way
they support the use of runtime
expressions for attribute values.
In the JSTL-RT tag library,
expressions are specified in the
page's scripting language. This is
exactly how things currently work in
current tag libraries.
In the JSTL-EL tag library,
expressions are specified in the JSTL
expression language. An expression is
a String literal in the syntax of the
EL.
When using the EL tag library you
cannot pass a scripting language
expression for the value of an
attribute. This rule makes it possible
to validate the syntax of an
expression at translation time.
So maybe your eclipse and the server use different tag libraries.
try this:
change this:
<%#taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"%>
to yes:
<%#taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt"%>
hope it works for you. I got this from www.csdn.net.

I am developing a simple Struts 1.x web application and there's a file named success.jsp and this is the sample code:
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-logic" prefix="logic"%>
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-nested" prefix="nested"%>
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html:html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>success.jsp</title>
<html:base/>
</head>
<body>
Go to myStart
</body>
</html:html>
By default, <html>was used instead of <html:html>, may I know what is the major difference between these two elements? Is it necessary to specify the uses of them? Besides, what is the major function for <html:base/> element?
Btw I found some definitions for these elements but I need clarification:
<html:html> Renders an HTML <html> element with language attributes extracted from the user's current Locale object, if there is one.
<html:base> Renders an HTML element with an href attribute pointing to the absolute location of the enclosing JSP page. This tag is valid only when nested inside an HTML <head> element. This tag is useful because it allows you to use relative URL references in the page that are calculated based on the URL of the page itself, rather than the URL to which the most recent submit took place (which is where the browser would normally resolve relative references against).
The <html:html> tag is a Struts 1.x JSP Taglib directive, declared in this line on your JSP Page:
<%# taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
These custom tag(s) are typically of the form <prefix:tagname>. The prefix declared on taglib is what binds your taglib container to the list of markups available in the taglib.
In essence <html:html> tells the taglib, prefixed html to render a html element when JSP is rendered.
So to answer your question <html> is a HTML directive while <html:html> is a Struts JSP taglib tag to generate a HTML <html> directive.
I am trying to execute the following jsp code which contains the optiontransferselect tag. However I am getting the below exception:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /abc.jsp(10,0) No tag "optiontransferselect label" defined in tag library imported with prefix "s"
Please find the below code i have used.
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Optiontransferselect Tag Example!</title>
</head>
<body>
<s:form>
<s:optiontransferselect label="Employee Records" name="leftSideEmployeeRecords" leftTitle="RoseIndia" rightTitle="JavaJazzUp" list="{'Deepak Kumar', 'Sushil Kumar','Vinod Kumar','Deepak Monthy','Deepak Mihanti', 'Sushil Kumar', 'Ravi Kant Kumar'}" headerKey="headerKey" headerValue="--- Please Select ---" doubleName="rightSideEmployeeRecords" doubleList="{'Amar Deep Patel', 'Amit Kumar','Chandan Kumar', 'Noor Kumar','Tammana Kumari'}" doubleHeaderKey="doubleHeaderKey" doubleHeaderValue="--- Please Select ---" />
</s:form>
</body>
</html>
Please Guide.
You are using older version of struts-core-xxx.jar in your project. Are you using 2.3.16 or above?
To use optiontransferselect tag you need to use struts-core-2.3.16 or higher..
You need to include the <s:head> tag which drags in some javascript that is needed to get the <s:optiontransferselect> tag to work.
Good day all,
I saw <html:html></html:html> from a jsp page in a java project.
Would like to ask what is the difference between these html tags.
Kindly advise.
The example code is as follow:
<%# taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%# taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<html:html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<!-- some html code here -->
</body>
</html:html>
<html:html> uses the struts-html tag library, where <html></html> is just plain old html.
You can read all about the struts-html taglib here.
both are same.html:html is struts 1 tag which is equal to basic HTML's html tag.
in netbeans 7 and jdk 7 and everything is working fine without any changes i made in my environment the old tags are working fine of jstl ${class.get_name()}
${page.getTitle()}
the new once i introduce does not work, and i don't know why ?
see this simple application example i created added jstl 1.2 into the libraries
and still it does not work?
<%#page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<%
String var1;
var1 = "Welcome";
%>
normal : <%=var1%>
<hr />
dollar: ${var1}
</body>
</html>
First of all, the above page doesn't even use the JSTL. It uses the JSP EL.
And I assume you expect to see dollar: "Welcome" printed, but that won't happen, because the JSP EL doesn't print values of local variables. It prints the value of attributes.
Change your code to
<% pageContext.setAttribute("var1", "Welcome"); %>
or, better, to
<c:set var="var1" value="Welcome"/>
and you'll see the expected output.
Below is the code I have in index.jsp using jstl 1.2.
<%# taglib prefix = "c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"%>
<% String[] setName = {"Hello", "you", "are", "using", "jstl", "in", "jsp"};
request.setAttribute("getName", setName);
%>
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>Print</td></tr>
<c:forEach var="itemName" items="#{getName}" >
<tr>
<td>${itemName}</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The output I was expecting is as below
Print
Hello
you
are
using
jstl
in
jsp
However below is what I am getting
Print
#{name}
Please let me know where I am missing
Below is the only jar file I have in WEB-INF/lib folder
jstl-1.2.jar
Thanks in advance

Note: Adding Java and JSP tag as person who have knowledge of Java and JSP might be knowing JSTL too...
Here,
<%# taglib prefix = "c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"%>
You're specifying the wrong JSTL taglib URL. This one is for JSTL 1.0. After JSTL 1.1 it requires a /jsp in the path. See also the JSTL 1.1 tag library documentation.
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
As to the of the code (and to reply on all those duplicate answers complaining to use ${} instead), the #{} syntax will only work inside JSP when you're targeting a Servlet 2.5 / 2.1 compatible container with a web.xml conforming Servlet 2.5 spec. Tomcat 6.0 is an example of such a container. The #{} will indeed not work in JSP tags on older containers such as Tomcat 5.5 or older.
For clarity and to avoid confusion among starters, better use ${} all the time in JSP tags. Also better use self-documenting variable names.
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%
String[] names = {"Hello", "you", "are", "using", "jstl", "in", "jsp"};
request.setAttribute("names", names);
%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>JSTL demo</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td>Print</td></tr>
<c:forEach items="${names}" var="name">
<tr><td>${name}</td></tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Our JSTL wiki page
Difference between JSP EL, JSF EL and Unified EL
In JSTL 1.2, you don't want to use #{name} in pure JSP, that's only a JSF artifact. Instead, simply use ${name}.
You need to refer items using expression language like ${name}
U r using # instead of $ before name
Let me know if this resolves.
#{name} is not a valid Java variable reference - looks like you are confusing it with JQuery selector.
Anyways try just using items="${name}"
#{name} is should be like ${name}
oh! might be the jars related to JSTL. check thins link for those jars to include in your project
Below is the final code I am using and it is running...
Posting so that someone can use it... Might help me tomorrow ;)
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
