How to print result of a java expression in JSP?

JSP Java 8 Object Oriented Programming Programming

The <c:out> tag displays the result of an expression. This is almost similar to the way <%= %> works. The difference here is that <c:out> tag lets you use the simpler "." notation to access properties. For example, to access customer.address.street, use the tag <c:out value = "customer.address.street"/>.

The <c:out> tag can automatically escape XML tags so they aren't evaluated as actual tags.

Attribute

The <c:out> tag has the following attributes −

Attribute	Description	Required	Default
Value	Information to output	Yes	None
default	Fallback information to output	No	body
escapeXml	True if the tag should escape special XML characters	No	true

Example

<%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix = "c" %>
<html>
   <head>
      <title> <c:out> Tag Example</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <c:out value = "${'<tag> , &'}"/>
   </body>
</html>

The above code will generate the following result −
