java - Is there a way to populate a map in JSP?

Question

For example

<jsp:useBean id="total" class="java.util.LinkedHashMap"/>
// need somehow do something like this: total.put('key', 'value');

But without using scriptlets (it's obvious but a little bit ugly)

Answer 1

You can use JSTL <c:set> for this.

<jsp:useBean id="total" class="java.util.LinkedHashMap"/>
<c:set target="${total}" property="key" value="value" />
