Now EL coding is working and if I use

<%@ page isELIgnored="true" %> in the page, then it works fine after I addedd following in the web.xml

<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">


The proble is , I cant use
<%@ page isScriptingEnabled="false" %>, since i give me invalide page directive message. and also it is not responsing the following elements if i add in the web.xml

<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<el-enabled>false</el-enabled>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>


Please help me

The tag in the web.xml DD is el-ignored and not el-enabled.

[Nitish Bahadur]

The DTD you are using is 2.3. This should be a 2.4 DTD, which by default has EL enabled.

[muthulingam Jayakanthan]

my main problem is
<%@ page isScriptingEnabled="false" %> is not working in the page and giving me invalidate page dirctive message

[Nitish Bahadur]

As far as I know, there is nothing called isScriptingEnabled. This used to be a attribute for the page directive prior to the 2.4 official release. I believe this was dropped. Scripting(not EL) can only be enabled Application wide using web.xml.

See p319 HFS. It was in the Draft Specs
