I am a beginner at Java Servlets and JSP. I am trying to print a simple string which is passed from the servlets. However when i try to print the attribute using
<h2><c:out value="${name}" /></h2>
i get the output as ${name}. I tried searching for related posts, and also executed solutions i read, But i am not able to figure this basic thing out. Please Help me.
Here is my Servlet Code
package com.crudproject.CrudControllers;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
/**
* Servlet implementation class CrudServlet
*/
@WebServlet("/")
public class CrudServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(request, response);
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String name = "Afras";
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("WEB-INF/greetings.jsp");
request.setAttribute("name", name);
rd.forward(request, response);
}
}
Here is my JSP PAGE
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<h2><c:out value="${name}" /></h2>
</body>
</html>
