c:remove

[Vineela Devi]

Hi,

If we dont specify any scope for <c:remove> will it search for the attribute in all the four scopes and then remove the one tht it encounters first or will it remove the attribute from all the scopes?(If the attribute with the same name exists in more than one scope).

Thanks in Advance
Vineela

From JSTL 1.1 Spec

The <c:remove> action removes a scoped variable.
If attribute scope is not specified, the scoped variable is removed according to the semantics of PageContext.removeAttribute(varName). If attribute scope is specified, the scoped variable is removed according to the semantics of PageContext.removeAttribute(varName, scope).

From JSP 2.0 API
