Math.Radmom with JSTL?

[tim.enloe]

Hi, I'm trying to output a random number using Math.random with JSTL
but it isn't working. Is there something wrong with this syntax?

<cut value="${Math.random}" />


The standard way works just fine
<%= Math.random() %>

Thank you,

Tim

No? Maybe it is just lazy. Did you try cash
inducements, threats, ..counselling?

..Is there something wrong with this syntax?

<cut value="${Math.random}" />

Have you imported java.util.Math into the page?
Are you trying to access the Math.random attribute?

This will actually try to call a Math.getRandom(), which does not exist.
