<%= SomeClass.COST %> is an rtexprvalue; it means the same thing it means in Java: the public static variable "COST" in "SomeClass". But this isn't an JSTL expression or even something that JSTL knows how to evaluate; this is just a traditional rtexprvalue. The two aren't intended to work the same. If they were, we wouldn't have needed an expression language! :-) -- Shawn Bayern Author, "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
