Using JSTL example in K&B Book

The example on page 436. I have set a an array in a servlet like shown below:

Then in the result.jsp I have done below:

But the ouput I get shown is:
<@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %> Movie List

Im not being shown the list of movies as shown on p 436. Why?

But the ouput I get shown is:
<@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %> Movie List

Hi Tontang Bei,

That is because you launched jsp page directly.
Launch the servlet that will set the request attribute and then dispatch
the later job of printing to the jsp page (output rendering).

Thanks,

NO,I called the servlet first. Not the JSP.

Are jstl.jar and standard.jar include in your library?
If yes, it seems to me, like there is no traversal is happening...

Yes both the jars are included as directed on page 434. but still no luck.

<@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

I think you are missing a % at the beginning

<%@ instead of <@

The missing % makes the text template text and it is rendered as is...

THANKS Michael. It works now. This is probably the last time I'm going to use notepad again.!!(and code without my glasses
