i have just installed eclipse M6 and my eclipse 030700RC2

in the following jsp code snippet, i get the error

expected %>”

on line two. why?

<code>…
#1 <input type=”hidden” name=”buttonAction” value=”” />
#2 <html:hidden property=”companyNo” value=”<%= request.getParameter(“companyNo”) %>” />
#3 <table border=”0″>
…</code>

i do have the taglibrary initialised properly and the error does not appear under any other environment.

suppose there is a reason, the double quotes. try this:

value='<%= request.getParameter(“companyNo”) %>’

wanto, you need to escape your inner double quotes around “companyNo”, i.e.

#2 <html:hidden property=”companyNo” value=”<%= request.getParameter(\”companyNo\”) %>” />

Aye!

This is one of the unlucky constructs in JSP, since if you use an expression inside a normal tag, you must not quote strings:

<img src="<%= request.getParameter("image") %>" />

awesome – thank you SUN 😉

ugg… well thankfully we have MyEclipse to keep us straight instead of waiting for the compiler to die 😉
