Article on JSP2.0 new features

The JSP2.0 spec is due to be released soon, to be bundled as part of the new J2EE 1.4 spec.

OnJava.com have a good article discussing some of the new features in JSP2.0, which include:

  • the JSTL Expression Language (EL) incorporated as standard into JSP2.0
  • improved error/exception handling
  • Custom tags can be defined in a JSP ‘tag file’ which declares the Custom Tag in terms of another JSP page, rather than subclassing the Custom Tag base classes
