Doubt on HFSJ pg 336

[Yoshita Jain]

Hi folks,

A question on pg 336, HFSJ is
<%@ page isELIgnored="true" %>
What is the effect?

The answer marked goes:

"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"

--Wouldn't the directive ignore EL irrespective of whether its there in the DD or not.

Do comment.

Hi Yoshita,

The correct answer for that question is option D Jsp containing this directive should not have any EL code evaluated by the jsp container.

Please do check Head First Errata.

Thanks,
Lalit M.

Thanks Lalit!
I did check the errata.. don't see it in there though

Yoshita, you are correct in saying that the errata does not contain anything about this question. I too checked and found nothing.

I also think that the option D is correct.But nothing is mentioned in errata regarding pg 336
Lalit-please help up & let us know if you are referring to any other errata link.
