Math.Radmom with JSTL?

Hi, I'm trying to output a random number using Math.random with JSTL
but it isn't working. Is there something wrong with this syntax?

<c:out value="${Math.random}" />

The standard way works just fine
<%= Math.random() %>

Thank you,

Tim

No? Maybe it is just lazy. Did you try cash
inducements, threats, ..counselling?

Have you imported java.util.Math into the page?
Are you trying to access the Math.random attribute?

This will actually try to call a Math.getRandom(), which does not exist.
