In my page I have the following tag:



I am getting an error that states:

Error: javax.el.ELException
Problems calling function 'fn:length'


Apparently I have my syntax wrong(?). Any help ASAP would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry guys, I found my problem. The syntax was correct the object sent to the JSP page did not contains a req.reqItems property and that is the reason it bombed. I inserted a beginning and ending <c:choose...> <c:when...> tags and resolved my problem that way.

Thanks anyway. Regards.

Please look at your original post: see how what you thought would work didn't? It makes it *really* hard to even know what the question was.

I did notice that. Should the FONT and BOLD tags have gone on the outside of the original tags?

Thanks.

They shouldn't be there at all.

OK. I was trying to point out where the problem was from a visual perspective. So I'll not do that in the future.
