JSTL request attribute in c:if

Question

I set a request attribute in my action class as follows:

request.setAttribute("xFg", Boolean.TRUE);

I want to retrive this in my JSP. I want to retrive them using JSTL tags. I tried this :

<c:if test="${requestScope.xFg}">
    <c:set var="showlist" value="true" />
</c:if>

But c:if didnt work, I mean it didn't go to c:set. I tried to print the same using c:out but nothing got displayed. What is wrong or how should I test request attribute value? I haven't used requestScope so far. Is requestScope the option to get the request value?

Check that the JSTL core library is declared at the top of your JSP. Check the generated HTML code, and se if you don't have unprocessed c:if and c:set tag inside. — JB Nizet, Nov 27 '12 at 15:02

Make sure to activate EL evaluation in your JSP page by specifying the attribute isELIgnored=”false” in the page directive as follows:

<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>
