Doubt in el-ignored

[raja ram]

Hi,

I have doubt in isELIgnored attribute when we make it true in the jsp page EL will be ignored by. default it is false so EL will be exceuted.
now we can enable and disable EL through following code in the DD

    <jsp-config>
           <jsp-property-group>
             <url-pattern>/jsp/chan.jsp</url-pattern>
               <el-ignored>true</el-ignored>
           </jsp-property-group>
    </jsp-config>

i tried this and found that even though we have <el-ignored> true </el-ignored> in the DD it still executes the EL in chan.jsp because we have not defined isELIgnored attribute and by default the value is false means EL will be executed.

Now if we want to avoid EL execution then we have to have <el-ignored> true </el-ignored> and isELIgnored = true in both page and in DD only then we EL will be ignored.

because page configuration always override the configuration in the DD. is My understanding correct

No, if you set <el-ignored> to true and you don't use the isELIgnored attribute, jsps matching the url pattern will not evaluate EL. Check that your url pattern is correct, and that you didn't leave the isELIgnored attribute. You may have to clear the container's cache, or to modify your JSP so that it gets retranslated.

Hi,

Thanks yes i checked it and found that when we have <el-ignored>true </el-ignored> in DD and isELIgnored is not defined in the JSP then it will take it from DD. and when we have <el-ignored> and isELIgnored both then isELIgnored will take priority.

Thanks
