Problem while Reading Request attribute by using ${}

Hi All,
I'm integrating portal and servlet. I have a portlet and my requirement is to call a Servlet by dojo AJAX call from the portlet and need to fill the response text in the table.
I have implemented a servlet inside the same portlet war and called the servlet. I could able to call the servlet and its working fine. But my problem is i'm forwarding the servlet request as follows,
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest aRequest, HttpServletResponse aResponse) throws ServletException, IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
MyBean bean = new MyBean();
List myList = new ArrayList();
myList.add(new ClaimInfo());
myList.add(new ClaimInfo());
myList.add(new ClaimInfo());
bean.setClaimInfoList(myList);
aRequest.setAttribute("claimInformationList",bean);
RequestDispatcher myDispatcher = aRequest.getRequestDispatcher("ClaimStatusInformation.jsp");
myDispatcher.forward(aRequest, aResponse);
}
and my JSP is,
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<table style="margin:0; text-align:left; width:100%;"
class="tableStyle01" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="columnHeader">
<span class="fieldlabelleft1" style="text-align:left">
Loss Date
</span>
</th>
<th class="columnHeader">
<span class="subheadwhite" style="text-align:left">
Claim
</span>
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<c:forEach items="${claimInformationList.claimInfoList}" var="claimInfo" varStatus="claimRowStatus">
<tr>
<td>
<span style="width:100%;text-align: left">
<c:out value="${claimInfo.displayLossDate}" escapeXml="false"></c:out>
</span>
</td>
<td>
<span style="width:100%;text-align: left">
<c:out value="${claimInfo.claimNumber}" escapeXml="false"></c:out>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</tbody>
</table>

___________________________________________________________

The dojo response data does not contains the actual parsed value for the JSP.
for the statement ${claimInfo.claimNumber} it either has to have blank or the actual value for that, Instead of above i'm getting the string "${claimInfo.claimNumber}" in the response text.
I find difficulty to resolve this. Please share your ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Ravi.

Hi Ravi,

If I understand your question correctly it's only about why the expression language (${ }) items arn't parsed, but simply put into html.

Is is possible that Expression Language has been disabled in some way. E.g. with <%@ page isELIgnored ="true|false" %> or in the web.xml (<el-ignored>true</el-ignored>).

Is for example ${presentationcontext} also printed as is?

Great William,
I used <%@ page isELIgnored="false"%> and its working fine now.
But earlier i did not have any statement like <%@ page isELIgnored="true"%>. Anyhow its solved now.
Thanks William!!!

Ravi,

maybe it's good to check out why it's ignored (e.g. from web.xml or so), so you don't run into other problems that could be ahead.

In web.xml it should be configured somewhere under (web-app) 'jsp-config' > 'jsp-property-group' > 'el-ignored'.

ps. charset=ISO-8859-1? Why not use UTF-8?
