Doubt in isELIgnored

[Viji Elango]

<%@ page isELIgnored="true" %>

What is the effect

1. The jsp containing this directive should not have any EL code evaluated by jsp aontainer.
2. This page directive will only turn off EL evaluation if the DD declares a <el-ignored> true </el-ignored> element with a url pattern that includes this jsp.

Which is the correct answer?

Is it only 1 or only 2 or both 1 & 2.

Please clarify.

Hi,

Only First Statement is true. It turn off EL in-respective of any setting in the web.xml.

Thanks

But in HFSJ Chapter 7 Mock Exam, it says only 2 is correct. Is that a printing mistake in the book?

[singh santosh]

only 1 is correct ,if HFSJ mentioned 2 then it must be wrong .

Actually
<%@ page isELIgnored="true" %> always overrides
<el-ignored> true </el-ignored> configured in DD

Hi,
Can anyone also throw some light on isScriptingEnabled.
I tried to use it in my jsp as follows:
<%@ page isScriptingEnabled="false"%>

But my container keeps on throwing error :
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /disableScriptlet.jsp(2,0) Page directive has invalid attribute: isScriptingEnabled

Can anyone kindly clarify:
- Why I am getting this error?
- Is it necessary to put <scripting-invalid>false</scripting-invalid> in DD.

Thanks!

yes i read somewhere tht isScriptingEnabled was included in some draft version of jsp spec but it was removed later...so this attribute cease to exist.

only DD tag scripting-invalid is valid..
