EL access operator

[amarkirt saroay]

Is this true:

If the dot operator is used to access the bean property but the property does not exist ,then a runtime exception is thrown !

The is only one way to find out. "Try it".

it will return null and EL simply ignores null values........

Hi,

If the bean doesn't exist (not found in any of the scopes) -> null, which is ignored and no Exception would be thrown.

If on the other hand the bean exists (it is found in one of the scopes), but you try to reference a property that doesn't exist an Exception would be thrown.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks
Katrin
