Using JSTL in Google App Engine

The JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL) is a collection of custom tag libraries that implement general-purpose functionality common to Web applications, including iteration and conditionalization, data management formatting, manipulation of XML.

To Use JSTL in the Google App Engine ,No need to download seperately the jstl jar ,App Engine package a version by default .

We need to add sELIgnored="false" to the page directive at the top of the JSP for EL to work. Its an limitation in App Engine .

In earlier post we discussed about Using JSP in Appengine ,We will include jstl related code in index.jsp wehere we are displaying the hello world .

The code snippet which i added to the jsp as shown below

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@page isELIgnored="false" %>
