HelloController

package com.tutorialpoint;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/hello")
public class HelloController {

    public HelloController(){
        System.out.println("hiii");
    }

    @RequestMapping(method  = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String printHello(Model model){

        System.out.println("this is controller");
        model.addAttribute("testvalue", "Hello World!!");
        System.out.println(model.toString());

        return "output";
    }
}

Output.jsp

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags"%>

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Output</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p>This is output jsp page  message is </p> ${testvalue}
</body>
</html>

But on resulting view(output.jsp) I am unable to fetch the value. I tried

  1. using spring core tag in jsp
  2. using the c:out tag
  3. putting maven dependency for jstl

Thanks in advance.

Edit - adding output.jsp screen shot

If you want to use EL you need to declare your deployment descriptor (web.xml) as Servlet 2.4 or higher. As you use Tomcat 7 which supports Servlet 3.0 I'd recommend you to use that version.

You can achieve it by changing your opening bracket in web.xml to this:

<web-app version="3.0"
  xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="
    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">

If that hasn't resolved your problem try to include below directive in your view:

<%@ page isELIgnored="false" %>

Hope it helped.
