Example JSP page with a few EL expressions that are marked as warnings	none

Description Riyad Kalla

Examples:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JSPIntro7.html#wp77083

I've noticed that all the examples I have tried where an EL piece of code uses quotes (single or double) the EL validators marks them as warnings "EL Syntax Error". I have attached a sample JSP page that includes a few that you can quickly import into your workspace and check out.

For convenience, copied below:
------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<title>My JSP 'MyJsp.jsp' starting page</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		This is my JSP page.
		<br>

		This should be some valid EL
		<br>
		This passes validation
		<br>
		${'This is a string literal in EL'}
		<br>
		Here we extract the host property from the header. Jsp editor tells me
		this is an el syntax error but it's not.
		<br>
		${header['host']}
		<br>
		Maybe it will work with double quotes
		<br>
		${header["host"]}
		<br>
		Nope it doesn't
		<br>
		This should work too:
		<br>
		${'hip' gt 'hit'} 
		<br>
		${requestScope['javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path']}
	</body>
</html>

Nitin, I'm assigning to you based on Summary ... feel free to re-route if I've inferred too much.

Looks like this has been fixed in WTP 3.0.3. (See bug#136795)
