HFSJ Mock Exam Question

Hi All,

I am trying out the Q:63 from Mock exam.

I am typing in part of the question that i have doubt -
--------------------------------------------
<jsp:setProperty name="x" property="a" value="something"/>
<c

ut value="hello"/>
--------------------------------------------
The Explanation says that we won't get any error if we use the jsp standard action. But can we use the <jsp:setProperty> without <jsp:useBean> or anything that introduces the variable "x" ?
I am getting error when i tried to execute the single line of code in a JSP. Can you please explain?

Also, the <c

ut> is not generating any error nor even any output.
The explanation says that it should generate a error.But I am not getting any. What does the spec say about it?

I am using Tomcat 5.0.28.

Cheers
Anand

I can guarantee that you are getting output. View the page source from your browser.

Hi Marc,

When i see the view source i can see <c ut value="hello"/>
i.e., the code i have typed in.
The explanation in the book says that if we use the tag without declaring the prefix, it should generate a error. Is that correct?

Also, could you please explain the issue i have posted for <jsp:setProperty> ? As mentioned, I am getting an error if i include only <jsp:setProperty> tag in the JSP but the book says that it should be ok.

Cheers
Anand
