Re: Adding attributes to an XML element in JSTL

Actually, what the Sun JSTL web page says is: "JSTL has support for common, structural tasks such as iteration and conditionals, tags for manipulating XML documents, internationalization tags, and SQL tags." "manipulating"! Anyway, I take your point that it is outside the scope of the JSTL XML

I thought of that, but it seems a messy way to do something very basic. I might resort to it though. At 08:12 PM 6/05/2004, you wrote: It sounds like you'd be better off using XSLT and the tag... Quoting Murray Lang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi > I've been using the XML tags in JSTL and found them

You can use JXPath to manipulate the content of the DOM directly (ie without having to instantiate a whole new copied DOM object to establish your changes (as you whould have to do with XSLT). Say you instantiate some DOM Document object, you can use JXPath as such: Document doc = ; JXPathC

Make sure you're using a Servlet 2.4 web.xml. If you're using a Servlet 2.3 web.xml, then the only RT expression that will get evaluated is a JSP expression (<%= ... %>). An EL expression will be treated as a literal string, hence all the "${i}" output. Of course, if your app also needs to work wit

Hi, I've used JSTL 1.0 before, and am trying to write a little app in 1.1 now. I'm using the Tomcat that I got with JWSDP 1.3 (which is v 5). The examples that come with WSDP work, but when I'm trying to write something on my own, or even copy the same code to a page of my own, it doesnt work.

I'm not too familiar with JXPath, and I'm sure it's useful in other contexts, but I don't see how it's applicable to Murray's problem. Can it be used to add an attribute to an existing element? I'm also not sure I get the point about "JXPath can be scripted into a JSP". Do you mean something beside

RE: Url Decoding

I do not believe you need to decode the string. The question is: did you encode the string? If you did not, then you do not need to decode it. Try this instead: <%-- The query comes in here, and we format it appropriately --%> <%= request.getParameter("query")%> Good luck. Java Doug -Origi

I've setup two pages where I can basically type a query in, and the second page does the sql work. However, I'm trying to use the URLDecoder statement to format my query, and it throws an error whenever I have a query with the '%' sign: URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern -

This is outside the scope of the taglibrary, JSTL xml taglibrary is for presentation of xml content, not for its manipulation. I recommend looking into a package such as JXPath to accomplish manipulation of the content of a DOM object. the nice thing is that JXPath can be scripted into a JSP, S
