An EL
expression starts with the
${
delimiter (a dollar sign plus a left
curly brace) and ends with } (a right curly
brace):
${anExpression}When used in an attribute value, any number of EL expressions and
static text parts can be combined. The attribute is set to the
evaluation result of each expression converted to a
String concatenated with the text parts:
<c:out value="The result of 1 + 2 + 3 is ${1 + 2 + 3}" />If the type for the attribute is not String, the
result is converted to the attribute’s Java type as
described later.
The language is case-sensitive. All keywords are in lowercase, and identifiers must be written with correct capitalization.
