Building Dynamic Web Applications: Using EL and JSP Actions
Scriptlet and expression tags offer powerful but risky functionality. Expression Language (EL) provides a safer and easier alternative that retains and even extends that power.In this course, explore EL and expression tags, comparing their usage and applying basic EL expressions. Next, discover how scoped attributes are resolved across page, request, session, and application scopes using EL, following the same logic as the pageContext.findAttribute method. Finally, learn how to use JSP actions such as Include, Forward, and Element, and use JavaBeans to build efficient web pages with minimal Java code.After completing this course, you will be able to utilize the syntax, capabilities, and quirks of EL, JSP actions, and JavaBeans to build dynamic web pages.
