Doing it all in a JSP: Outputs "xyzzy". If you're trying to use a scripting variable with JSTL, it won't work (unless you're using the RT versions of the tags). The EL versions of the tags only deal with scoped attributes. So, it would work if you did: request.setAttribute("indexStr", "bar"

Expression Language question

2003-05-27 Thread Matthew Van Horn
How do you write an index variable in an expression, where the index is also variable. i.e. Given: HashMap foo = new HashMap(); foo.put("bar", "xyzzy"); foo.put("baz", "plugh"); String indexStr = "bar"; this doesn't seem to work. I think it is doing foo.get("indexStr") instead of foo.get("bar")
