EL Syntax Error for no-args function [message #512349]

Hi,

I get a validation error for my no args EL function. This is my tld:

<taglib ...>
	<tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
	<jsp-version>2.0</jsp-version>
	<short-name>c24</short-name>
	<function>
	    <name>timestamp</name>
	    <function-class>java.lang.System</function-class>
	    <function-signature>
	        long currentTimeMillis()
	    </function-signature>
	</function>
</taglib>

When using ${custom:timestamp()} in a JSP, WTP reports an EL Syntax Error, pointing at the braces, even though the JSP works fine in Tomcat 5.5. Writing ${custom:timestamp(d)} gets rid of the validation error, but obviously fails during runtime.

Am I doing something wrong (some incorrect settings?), or is this a bug? What do you think?

Bye,
Michael

Michael,

I tried testing this scenario in the latest WTP 3.2 drivers and it worked for me. I think the problem you maybe seeing is related to Bug 276620 which is fixed in WTP 3.2.

I know this does not fix your immediate problem, but at the very least the problem has been addressed in the next release and you are more then welcome to try one of the 3.2 milestone drivers which are typically rather stable.

Another solution would be to go to "Windows -> Preferences -> Web -> JSP Files -> Validation" and go to the "Expression Language" section and set the options to ignore.

Hope this helps.

Blue Skies,

~Ian

Hi Ian,

thanks a lot for both tips! Unfortunately I failed to find the bug report, even though I tried. Bugzilla is a mistery to me...

Bye,
Michael
