JSTL - Core <c:remove> Tag

The <c:remove> tag removes a variable from either a specified scope or the first scope where the variable is found (if no scope is specified). This action is not particularly helpful, but it can aid in ensuring that a JSP cleans up any scoped resources it is responsible for.

Attribute

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

Attribute	Description	Required	Default
var	Name of the variable to remove	Yes	None
scope	Scope of the variable to remove	No	All scopes

Example

<%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix = "c" %>

<html>
   <head>
      <title><c:remove> Tag Example</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <c:set var = "salary" scope = "session" value = "${2000*2}"/>
      <p>Before Remove Value: <c:out value = "${salary}"/></p>
         <c:remove var = "salary"/>
      <p>After Remove Value: <c:out value = "${salary}"/></p>
   </body>
</html>

The above code will generate the following result −

Before Remove Value: 4000
After Remove Value:
