${flowExecutionUrl} not rendering

**smcelroy** · Dec 4th, 2008, 10:43 AM

I'm working through a SWF tutorial which contains the following JSP page:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> 
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Register - GeekWarez</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Register</h1>
        
        <div>
            <a href="${flowExecutionUrl}&_eventId=submitRegistration">Submit</a>
            <a href="${flowExecutionUrl}&_eventId=cancelRegistration">Cancel</a>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

When this page is displayed the ${flowExecutionUrl} el variable is not rendering correctly. If I look at the page source it looks like this:

Code:

        <div>
            <a href="${flowExecutionUrl}&_eventId=submitRegistration">Submit</a>
            <a href="${flowExecutionUrl}&_eventId=cancelRegistration">Cancel</a>
        </div>

I am using Tomcat 6.0
Java 6
jboss-el-2.0.1.GA.jar
spring-webmvc-2.5.5.jar

I did the same thing, originally via a cut-and-paste from the SWF manual.

This is the corrected version:

<a href="<c:out value='${flowExecutionUrl}' />&_eventId=submitRegistration">Submit</a>

The SWF manual should be corrected for this -- just in case anybody who can do so is reading...

This works too:

Code:

<a href="${flowExecutionUrl}&_eventId_cancelRegistration">Cancel</a>
<a href="${flowExecutionUrl}&_eventId_submitRegistration">Submit</a>

Hello,
I just had the same problem with the same tutorial.

The solution to use the JSTL is correct but I found something more simple:
1) have the jboss-el and el-api jars available (el-api.jar may be provided by the servlet-container, it's the case with Tomcat 6)
2) add the following code to the top of the JSP file: <%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>

It worked for me. Hope it helps.
