What is the expected behaviour when testing a non-existing variable in a jsp file

  • 0

What is the expected behaviour when testing a non-existing variable in a jsp file
for Java 1.4.2 and Tomcat 5.0?

for example:

<c:when test="${testVariable ne 'test'}">
    1
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
    2
</c:otherwise>

will this code display 1, 2 or some kind of exception on the site, given that the testVariable doesn’t exist?

    A non existing variable will just be treated as null.
