Friends,
Our JSP code uses both Spring form tags and JSTL tags. Is there a way that when I search for getFoo() in the Eclipse Java Search, for Eclipse to also return uses of the foo property in the JSP files?
I suspect the answer is “no”, because there isn’t a way at compile time to tell the types of the JSP beans, but its worth asking, right?
The JavaEE distro of Eclipse will do that, but only in those cases where the JSP contains type information. Ironically, this only really happens with
<jsp:useBean>, which is the old, pre-JSTL way of declaring java beans in the JSP. New-style JSPs are pretty devoid of java type info, and Eclipse has little or nothing to get a handle on.
