Doubt in HFS in chapter 6

[V Gala]

At page 330 chapter 6
Question 6 of Mock Exam

<%@page isELignored="true"%?

a) the jsp containing this directive should not have any expression code


b) this page directive will only turn off EL evaluation if DD declares a <el-ignored>true</el-ignored> element

[Nitin Vashishtha]

I think the correct answer should be:
the jsp containing this directive should not have any expression code

because if we have declared isELIgnored="true" in our page,it will override the DD settings for this jsp page,no matter what you have specified in DD.

Correct answer is (a) JSP containing the directive will not evaluate EL expressions.
If there's a conflict between the <el-ignored> setting in the DD and isELIgnored attribute of the page directive, the directive takes precedence over DD declaration. Hence even if <el-ignored> is declared as true or false in DD, the jsp containing the directive <%@ page isELIgnored = "true" %> will not evaluate EL expressions

But in mock answer
ans is option b
page 336 of HFS(option e)
thanks

[Nitin Vashishtha]

well..
I answers based on the real question.
The question 6 on page 330 of HFSJ does not have any option as
(a) JSP containing the directive will not evaluate EL expressions.

my complete answer was option D in that question which is:
the jsp containing this directive should not have any expression code evaluated by the jsp container
which basically means same as
JSP containing the directive will not evaluate EL expressions.
