This post helps you understand how to use the <fn:endsWith> tag in the JSTL function tags library with code example.

The fn:endsWith function tests whether a given string ends with a given suffix. This function returns boolean value.

 

JSTL <fn:endsWith> Syntax:

<c:if test="${fn:endsWith(<var containing source string>, <suffix to search>)}">

            ...

</c:if>

 

JSTL <fn:endsWith> Example:

The following code example searches for a suffix .net in the string www.codejava.net

.

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
	pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn"%>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
    <title>fn:endsWith Demo</title>
  </head>
  <body>
	<h1>fn:endsWith Demo</h1>
	<c:set var="stringToSearch"
		value="www.CodeJava.net" />
	<c:out value="${stringToSearch}"/>
	<c:if test="${fn:endsWith(stringToSearch, '.net')}">
		<p>CodeJava.net ends with .net</p>
	</c:if>		
  </body>
</html>

 

Output:

JSTL function fn-endsWith
