[nirali shah]

Whats the difference between EL and JSTL ?
Where can I find details about how to use EL ?

Can someone please explain in details about EL ?

The EL is the JSP Expression Language. For JSP 2.0 it is described in the JSP Specification. As of JSP 2.1 it has its own specification.

You may want to check out the former as it's clearer -- the 2.1 Specification has a bunch of JSF stuff that you won't need in JSP.

The JSTL is a standard tag library. It has its own specification.

Check out the JSP FAQ for links.
