The <c:out> tag displays the result of an expression, similar to the way <%= %> works with a difference that <c:out> tag lets you use the simpler “.” notation to access properties.
For example, to access employee.salary just use tag is <c:out value=”employee.salary”/>.
JSTL <c:out> tag Example:
To display the salary of the employee on JSP, you can use the <c:out> tag like:
<!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=ISO-8859-1"> <title>JSTL c out Tag example</title> </head> <body> <c:out value="${employee.salary}" default="Not Available" escapeXml="true"></c:out> </body> </html>
The above statement assumes that employee object is available on this JSP and that employee bean has a property salary with setters and getter.
Attributes of <c:out> tag are:
Required Attributes:
1. value: This attribute needs expression to be evaluated.
Optional Attributes:
1. default: This attribute provides default value if the resulting value is null.
2. escapeXml: This attribute determines whether characters &,’,” in the resulting string should be converted to their corresponding character entity codes. Default value is set to true.
