Java Standard EL Functions 1.1.1 is available!

We released Java Standard EL Functions (JSEL) ver 1.1.1.

JSEL provides standard JSP-EL functions for web application development such as escaping HTML tags, URL encoding and formatting Date or Number. You can use it with many web frameworks which use JSP as view technologies.

Here is the list of new features in this release:

• New functions to print message to JSP by log level
• New functions to test whether log level is enabled

You can print message if the log log level is enabled using functions such as log:printDebug().

${log:printDebug('DEBUG level is enabled.')}

And also you can test whether log level is enabled using log:isDebugEnabled().

<c:if test="${log:isDebugEnabled()}">
  DEBUG level is enabled.
</c:if>

Please see the TLDDoc to know details of available functions.
