Many tags use ${ } to embed parsable or variable data within tags. What is
the difference between $ { } and <%= %> ?
$(...} is for an Expression Language (EL) expression, a simple language
defined by the JSTL 1.0 specification and now being incorporated in the
JSP 2.0 specification. You can use EL expressions for tag attribute values
in the JSTL 1.0 EL tag libraries in a JSP 1.2 container, and for any
tag library as well as in template text in a JSP 2.0 container.
<%= ... %> is a Java expression, and can be used for any attribute value
as well as in template text with any version of the JSP spec.
