Question

I’ve been working local on tomcat server 7, now I uploaded my project to a server but it has tomcat 6. So the following doesn’t work:

model.addAttribute("category",cat);

<div class="span4">
            <h2>
                Category:
                <c:out value="${category}" />
            </h2>
            <br />
            <c:forEach items="${categoryList}" var="item">
                <div class="alert alert-init">
                    <c:url value="/getInit/${item.getiID()}" var="url" />
                    <a href="${url}"><c:out value="${item.getTitle()}" /></a>
                </div>
            </c:forEach>
        </div>

It gives me following error code:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/views/categoryinitiatives.jsp(34,5) The function iIDGetter must be used with a prefix when a default namespace is not specified

I’ve been searching all over the web to find a solution for this problem, but without success. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

If you wanna access a property of a bean using EL, just write item.title instead of item.getTitle(). It will automatically call the getter and probably solve your problem.

Moreover, item.getiID() isn’t a valid name. If you have a property iID in your bean, you have to name the getter getIID() to access it using EL. Have a look at the lowerCamelCase syntax.
