RE: Is there a way to call java.lang.String.substring on a
As the documentation for the String taglib states, it is built on the
Commons Lang component. The error you are seeing suggests that you have not
included Commons Lang in your web app.

Re: Is there a way to call java.lang.String.substring on a Posted by Stefan <ni...@studioweb.com>.
Hi,

I have a weird behavior using the jakarta tag-lib with the JSTL forEach tag
where when I apply the substring tag to a c:out  tag the substring tag only
works on the first iteration?


<c:forEach items="${r.rows}" var="value" varStatus="status" >

 <tr align='center' >
  <td><c:out value="${value.sex}"/>&nbsp;</td>
   <td><c:out value="${value.name}"/>&nbsp;</td>
  <td><str:substring start="0" end="4"><c:out
value='${value.lastName}'/></str:substring></td>
   </tr>
 </c:forEach>
</table>

Any ideas?
