question from scriptless jsp chapter hfsj

Hi
Does anyone know the answer for Question 17 of the scriptless jsp chapter

According to me the question is wrongly framed & thus none of the options fit.

Can anyone come up with the correct answer for the question

It is included in the errata ..... So the answer marked is not the correct one

Thanks

Which book?

Which book?

Answer in the name of the thread

Head first servlets and jsp (HFSJ)

Nicely played, Christophe :-)

Got d joke but not the answer !! Now that we have had a laugh ... the answer would'nt hurt i guess !!

Sorry sid. Could you please post the question ? That would give people who don't own the book (like me) a chance to help you.

Q17 on page 424 has an errata that says answer C should not be checked.
Answers A is correct and should be checked.

The question is:
Which about EL access operators are true? (Choose all that apply)
A. Anywhere the .(dot) operator is used the [] could be used instead.
B. Anywhere the [] operator is used the .(dot) could be used instead.
C. If the .(dot) operator is used to access a bean property but the property doesn't exist, then a runtime exception is thrown.
D. There are some situations where the .(dot) operator must be used and other situations where the [] operator must be used.

Answer A is the only correct answer.

In my copy, A is correctly checked and there are descriptions why B and D are incorrect. However, there is no description why C is incorrect.
I believe the description should be that Expression Language is very forgiving and doesn't throw exceptions in this case.
