Content Assist supported for Expression Language in JSP? [message #194791] Thu, 21 June 2007 16:56 Go to next message

I would swear that at one time, WTP supported content assist in JSP
expression language. But, if I start an expression--"${"--all it does
for me is add " }" (and I don't really want that extra space).

No amount of Ctrl-Space gives me anything more than a message in the
status bar: "Content Assist not available at the current location". No
implicit objects are available to start the expression, and even if I
type a variable (introduced through a jsp:useBean action) myself, the
content assist refuses to offer completions for it's properties.

Is content assist available for JSP EL in WTP 1.5.4/Eclipse 3.2.2? If
so, any suggestions for getting it working?

Are you within a Dynamic Web Project, or at least a Java project
that has the servlet jars on its build path?

Yes, in this simple test, it's a dynamic web application. It doesn't
work in a Java project with servlet jars either. The target runtime is
Tomcat 5.0, with a 1.4.2 JDK as the "JRE".

I thought, even though my app is set up with a Servlet 2.4 web.xml, that
maybe it was ignoring the EL. I tried to get auto-completion to add the
isELIgnored attribute to the page directive, but the available "isXXX"
attributes were only isErrorPage and isThreadSafe -- no isELIgnored.
When I added the attribute by hand, no problems were reported, but it
didn't help with the EL content assist either.

Any other suggestions about what to look for here?

If I start a scriptlet, content assist works fine, but if I start JSP
EL, I get nothing.

I've tried changing the JRE System Library as well as Eclipse's -vm
option, but that didn't make any difference. Currently, I have it
pointed at a 1.5 JDK installation.
