EL Functions

Starting with JSTL 1.1, one tag library contains a set of functions for use in EL expressions. The description of each function follows a similar pattern as the action descriptions: an overview, a syntax reference, a parameter table, and an example. The syntax reference section shows the return type, followed by the function name and the parameters in italics within parentheses.

Unless otherwise stated, a parameter value of null is treated as an empty string.
