The <c:set> tag is JSTL-friendly version of the setProperty action. The tag is helpful because it evaluates an expression and uses the results to set a value of a JavaBean or a java.util.Map object.
Attribute
The <c:set> tag has the following attributes −
Attribute | Description | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
Value | Information to save | No | body |
target | Name of the variable whose property should be modified | No | None |
property | Property to modify | No | None |
var | Name of the variable to store information | No | None |
scope | Scope of variable to store information | No | Page |
If target is specified, property must also be specified.
