Question: What is an Expression tag in JSP?
By: Guru Singh Printer Friendly Format
Answer: An expression tag contains a scripting language expression that is evaluated, converted to a String, and inserted where the expression appears in the JSP file. Because the value of an expression is converted to a String, you can use an expression within text in a JSP file.
Like
<%= someexpression %>
<%= (new java.util.Date()).toLocaleString()
%>
You cannot use a semicolon
to end an expression
