The JavaServer Pages (JSP) Expression Language (EL) is a simple non-procedural scripting language that can be used to evaluate dynamic expressions within a JSP page. Each EL expression evaluates to a single value that is then expressed as text in the output of the JSP (when used in template text), or passed as a value to a JSP action. As such, it is ideal for adding dynamic elements to the HTML page (or other text output) generated by the execution of a JSP.
