JSP 2.0 makes the interface standard; with JSP 1.2 and JSTL 1.0, you need to use the custom interface supported by whichever implementation you choose (e.g., the Standard Taglib). > I've seen examples like the following, is this really all I need to > do? > > import org.apache.taglibs.standard.lang.support.ExpressionEvaluatorManager; > Object obj = ExpressionEvaluatorManager.evaluate( > attName, attValue, clazz, this, pageContext); Looks good to me. The JSP 2.0 API will be a little more complex, but that's a tradeoff for it's vastly superior generality: it allows for use of the EL even beyond JSP pages. (And some extra baggage is necessary to support JSP 2.0's notion of 'EL functions', which was added after JSTL 1.0.) -- Shawn Bayern "JSTL in Action" http://www.jstlbook.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
