Error in executing <html:text property="firstName" value="<bean:message key="user.firstName" />"/>

[Abhineet Joon]

equal symbol expected
org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:39)
org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.dispatch(ErrorDispatcher.java:405)

This is the error I enounter while using <html:text property="firstName" value="<bean:message key="user.firstName" />"/> in index.jsp and applicationresources.properties is properly defined and when I use <html:text property="firstName" value="default"> the code properly executes.

Can't we use messagebundle in <html:> tags

Hi,

try this,
<html:text property="firstName" value="<bean:message key='user.firstName' />"/>

Hi Shailesh ,

The synatx didn't work out, the value displayed in the browser was Enter Name: <bean:message key='user.firstName' /> only when I used the following syntax <html:text property="firstName" value="<bean:message key='user.firstName' />"/>

any other synatx recommendations ...

You can't use a custom tag as the value of another custom tag's attribute.

Hi Bear Bibeault ,

Thanks for the response I was in dilemma regarding this query. Finally I could have a sound sleep
