--- Comment #8 from Konstantin Kolinko <knst.koli...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Christopher Schultz from comment #7) Reading jsp-2_2-mrel-spec.pdf 1) Chapter JSP.1.10.1 - page #51 (89 of 594) (in description of "isELIgnored" attribute of @page directive): [quote] The default value varies depending on the web.xml version [/quote] 2) Chapter JSP.3.3.2 - page #79 (117 of 594) [quote] The default mode for JSP pages in a Web Application delivered using a web.xml using the Servlet 2.3 or earlier format is to ignore EL expressions; this provides for backward compatibility. The default mode for JSP pages in a Web Application delivered using a web.xml using the Servlet 2.4 format is to evaluate EL expressions with the ${} syntax. Expressions using the #{} are evaluated starting with JSP 2.1. See Section , “Backwards Compatibility with JSP 2.0” for more details on the evaluation of #{} expressions. [/quote] Thus it is correct to disable EL evaluation here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
