Request time attributes

[Akhil Maharaj]

Hi ,
Any ideas on why the line 1 is not OK. But line 3 is OK .
They look similar to me .

    
 
<% String myURL="fun.jsp"; %>
<jsp:include page="<%= myURL %>"  // This is not OK     // Line 1
 
<jsp:include page="%= myURL %"    // This is OK        // Line 2
 

<jsp:useBean id="addr" class="AddressBean">
    <% String myCity="NewYork; %>
   <jsp:setProperty name="addr" property="city" value="<%= myCity %>" // This is OK  Line 3
</jsp:useBean>

There are a few typos. Your include tags and setProperty tag are not closed. Also, there's a double quotation missing after NewYork.

<% String myURL="fun.jsp"; %>
<jsp:include page="<%= myURL %>" />
 
<jsp:include page="%= myURL %" />
 
 
<jsp:useBean id="addr" class="AddressBean">
    <% String myCity="NewYork;" %>
   <jsp:setProperty name="addr" property="city" value="<%= myCity %>" />
</jsp:useBean>

<% String myURL="fun.jsp"; %>
<jsp:include page="<%= myURL %>" /> 
<jsp:include page="%= myURL %" /> <!-- Is this line supposed to be OK? -->
<jsp:useBean id="addr" class="AddressBean">    
<% String myCity="NewYork;" %>   
<jsp:setProperty name="addr" property="city" value="<%= myCity %>" />
</jsp:useBean>

How

The syntax is ok, but accessing the page will cause an error. I don't know what Akhil means by "ok"

Thanks for finding the typos .It was my mistake .
I was going through Manning's SCWCDExam guide by Hanumanth Deshmukh . One of the topics about XML documents and request time attributes discussed this . I think when they say it is OK , it means it is syntactically correct and JSP will get translated to servelt code .

I am still trying to find the answer ...

Akhil Maharaj,

I tried your two <jsp:include> tags:

1)

 <jsp:include page="<%= value %>" />  

2)

 <jsp:include page="%= myURL %" />   

The first one works fine without any error.
The second one doesn't work. It is clear that the syntax is wrong.
