Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

This look indeed like a bug in the EL implementation used by the servletcontainer (or webapplication) in question. You need to figure which one it is using and try upgrading/replacing it.

If upgrading/replacing the EL implementation doesn't help, then I'd warmly recommend do move that whole script out into an function in its own .js file which you load using <script> in the HTML <head> element. That's also the normal practice. Even more, I'd give the link a classname so that you can just hook on it during $(document).ready() and add the click() accordingly. E.g.

<a href="${url}" class="someName">

with

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.someName').click(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            url: $(this).attr('href'), // This sets the actual value of ${url}.
            success: function() {
                window.location.reload();
            }
        });
        return false; // Blocks link from executing the default href action.
    });
});

I'm using Jetty for developing. I tried tomcat and glassfish JSP engine implementations. It seems that both of them are have this issue.I think that separation of concerns is good idea anyway, so I moved JS code away from JSP template. Thanks a lot.
