referencing this in a JSP page

[Jon Smith]

Can you reference "this" in a JSP page. I am using log4j to log errors but
this wants the class name so I was looking to user this.getClass().getName()
to do this. If there another way?

Many Thanks

Can you reference "this" in a JSP page.

Yes, but it's not that useful. "this" will be an instance of the
autogenerated servlet class the JSP compiler produces the source for.

It doesn't "want" anything. Log4J uses the idea of named loggers. You tell it
which logger you want to get by name. Typically people use class names for this
by passing the Class object (not the class name), but you can use anything you
want.
