This is not the ONLY way to produce the output, but
itÕs the only way using this set of magnets. Bonus
exercise: write the EL expressions a little differently
(forget the magnets), but print the same result.

A Map of the scope
attributes.
Maps of the request
parameters.
Maps of the
request headers.
Ooohhhh this is a tough one
could it be a Map of cookies?
A Map of the context init parameters
(NOT servlet init parameters!)
The only thing that is NOT a Map. This is
the real dealÑan actual reference to the
pageContext object, which you can think of as
a bean. Look in the API for the PageContext

getter methods.

Remember, param is just a Map of
parameter names and values. The things to
the right of the dot come from the names
speciÞ ed in the input Þ elds of the form.
Even though there might be multiple values
for the ÒfoodÓ parameter, you can still use

the single param implicit object, but youÕll
get only the Þ rst value.

The header implicit object keeps a Map of all the headers.
Use either access operator to pass in the header name and
the value of that header will print. (Note: thereÕs also
a headerValues implicit object for headers with multiple
values. It works just like paramValues.)

just thinks that ÒfooÓ is an attribute
somewhere, with a ÒpersonÓ property. But the
Container never Þnds a ÒfooÓ attribute.
Perfect! Using the
requestScope object gives

us a way to put the
attribute name in quotes.

The function name rollIt() comes from
the <name> in the TLD, not from
anything in the actual Java class.
The preÞ x ÒmineÓ is just
the nickname weÕll use
inside THIS page, so that
we can tell one TLD
from another (in case you
DO have more than one).
Do NOT worry about all the
stuff inside the <taglib > tag.
WeÕll talk more about TLDs in
the next two chapters.
The function method MUST
be public AND static.
The uri in the taglib directive
tells the Container the name of
the TLD (which does NOT have
to be the name of the FILE!),
which the Container needs so
it knows which method to call
when the JSP invokes the EL
function.

The ÒnumÓ attribute was found, and
its value Ò2Ó coerced to an int.
Even better! The Integer value was converted
to its primitive value, and then compared.
Watch out for using = instead of
==. There is NO = in EL.
Yes, you can use EL
inside a tag!
If you remember the rollIt()
code, it always returns a
number greater than zero.
See if you can Þgure
out the precedence
rules for when you
donÕt use parens. ItÕs
very intuitive (left to

right), and you should
have NO problems with
precedence on the exam.
