Actually, you don't need the c:out unless there are additional attributes you
want to specify.

${string} means the same as <c:out value="${string}" /> since J2EE 1.4.

Well, that also shows how much I know about Spring :-). I didn't know they
had a tag library.

I am by no means an expert. I keep learning something about Java each day. I
would strongly advise not use the <%%> tags though. I created an intranet
site at the last place I worked that used Java code and <%%> all over the
pages. It was my first attempt at Java/JSP coding and it's now just a mess!

Take a look at the JSTL tags and the expression language (EL). It will give
you MUCH cleaner pages.
Simple output:
<%= myClass.getValue() %>

Using JSTL tags and EL:
<c:out value="${myClass.value}" />

For loop:
<% for (String string : myClass.getMyList) { %>
<%= string %><br>
<% } %>

Using JSTL and EL:
<c:forEach var="string" items="${myClass.myList}">
<c:out value="${string}" /><br>
</c:forEach>

That shows just how green I am! Spring does include a tag library for
forms, so it does provide some of the same things as JSF. Tag libraries
are something I'm just getting into - I've been coding all my JSP using <%
%> and writing java code.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
