<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:
