Re: what's wrong with this piece of code

You cant do it this way. Its mixing client code and server code.

<%
 String newDate = new String();
 newDate = "%><jsp:getProperty name="lineItem" property="date" /><%";

%>

 

Even if you escape the quotes it wont work. If u need property date of lineItem this way.. just do:

 

<%
 String newDate = lineItem.getDate();

%>

Hi all,

 

need a hand....I'm getting errors of :

 

.........java:751: String not terminated at end of line.
                              newDate = "
                                        ^
.........java:757: String not terminated at end of line.
                              ";

 

for this code

 

 

 

<%
 String newDate = new String();
 newDate = "%><jsp:getProperty name="lineItem" property="date" /><%";

 

%>
