<c: out> in JSTL
One of the general purpose core library tag is <c:
out>. The main function of the this tag is to display the output to the
user. It works like expression tag in jsp <%= ---%>.
Attributes of the <c: out> core action tag.
- value: It specify the expression which needs
to be evaluated.
- default: We can use this attribute if the
resulting value is null.
- escapeXml: It checks whether there is any
need to convert the &, <, > etc to their character encoding
codes.
In this example we have used only one attribute i.e.
value. It is a must attribute in the tag. We are just calculating the
multiplication of two numbers by using the <c: out> core action tag.
The code of the example is given below:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Calculation by using c: out</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<h1>Simple Calculation by using c: out</h1>
<%-- Multiplying the numbers 2 * 3 dynamically --%>
2 * 3 = <c:out value="${2 * 3}" />
</body>
</html> |
The output of the program is given below:
