See example jsfdemo.jsp. ### EL Syntax changed The Syntax of the WCF Expression Language (actually its based on jakarta BeanUtils) has changed from `${expr}` to `#{expr}` so it cooperates from the expression language available in Tomcat 5 / JSP 2.0. So with JSP 2.0 you should use `#{}` notation to define expressions for WCF attributes and `${}` to define JSP EL expressions. JSP EL expressions can not be used with WCF tags currently, all tag attributes have their `rtexprvalue` set to false. There may be a twin library supporting JSP EL expressions in the future (similar to the twin libraries in JSTL, e.g. core and core_rt). ### Static accessor for RequestContext RequestContext has a static `instance()` method that returns the current instance (using java.lang.ThreadLocal). This seems to be safe since JSF uses this mechanism too ### actionReference in XML form descriptions Form handling has been simplified, see example. In the XML file describing the HTML form, the <button ...> element accepts an element named "actionReference". The value of this attribute is interpreted as the name of a function, which is called when the user presses the button. The signature of the function is `void foo(RequestContext context) throws Exception;`
