For <c:set target="${PetMap}" property="dogName" value="Clover"/> syntax on page 456 in HFSJ ,it says that
The target must evaluate to the OBJECT! You don't type in the string "id" name of the bean or Map attribute! With the "target" attribute ,you do not type in the String literal that represents the name under which the attribute was bound to the page,scope,etc. No,the "target" attribute needs a value that resolves to the REAL THING.
But I tried following example ,for "target" attribute I had to give name to which attribute was bound
Then,why in HFSJ it is saying that With the "target" attribute ,you do not type in the String literal that represents the name under which the attribute was bound to the page,scope,etc ?
Thanks

Hi Veena,
You didn't use a String literal. Instead you used an EL expression (${PetMap}), which evaluates to the "real thing", the object (in your example the Map petMaps).
The following doesn't work (notice: PetMap is now a String literal):
For the c:set var property a String literal works:
I hope I could help.
cheers
