JSTL Core c:set Tag

February 15, 2014 by Krishna Srinivasan Leave a Comment

The <c:set> tag is general purpose tag which allows to set the value of a variable or property into the given scope. Using this tag we can set the property of bean and also we can set the values of map. This tag sets the result of an expression evaluation based on the value of the attributes.

Syntax of <c:set> tag

[code lang=”html”]
<c:set attribute> body content </c:set>
[/code]

Attribute of <c:set> tag

  • value: This attribute is used to save the information. The values of <c:set> tag can be given in the body of the tag instead of an attribute line.
  • var: This attribute is used to display the name of the variable to store the information.
  • property: This attribute is used to modify the property of the variable.
  • target: This attribute is used to show name of the variable whose property should be modified.
