Hey,
my jstl urls will not render properly. I am using:
<c:forEach var="row" items="${rs.rows }">
<h4>${row.startdate }</h4>
<c:url var="url" value="announceDetail.jsp" >
<c:param name="announceidid" value="${row.announceid}" />
</c:url>
<p>${row.content}</p></li>
</c:forEach>
The url turns out to be
http://testchem.chem.columbia.edu/ugrad/$urlWhat am I doing wrong?
