JSP EL and autoCompletion

Question

In my servlet:

request.setAttribute(\"list\", myList);

In my Jsp:

   ${item.n         


        

Answer 1

For IntelliJ, you can use comment annotations, such as this:

<%--@elvariable id="list" type="java.util.List"--%>

To get this automatically, IntelliJ should be coloring ${items} as a warning, since it wont have any idea what it is. Click on it and when the lightbulb pops up, click the option "Declare external variable in comment annotation." That will generate a comment annotation such as the one listed above.
