Expression Language & Eclipse warning: "items" does not support runtime expressions
i have the following JSP:
<%@ page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ page isELIgnored="false"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title><c:out value="${it.title}"/></title>
</head>
<body>
<c:forEach var="speaker" items="${it.speakers}" varStatus="stat">
<ul>
<li><c:out value="${speaker.person.firstName}" /> <c:out value="${speaker.person.lastName}" />, <c:out value="${speaker.person.address.city.zip}" /> <c:out value="${speaker.person.address.city.name}" /></li>
</ul>
</c:forEach>
</body>
</html>
Eclipse warns me about every instance of EL Expressions in my code:
Warning [line 10]: "value" does not support runtime expressions
Warning [line 13]: "items" does not support runtime expressions
...
this is however not true, EL gets evaluated correctly by the server.
Can anyone hint me in the right direction why eclipse is warning me about those EL expressions?
Answer
Your taglib directive imports a JSTL 1.0 taglib. It should be JSTL 1.1 instead (note the difference in URI):
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
