<h1>JSP 2.0 Expression Language - Composite Expressions</h1>
<hr>
This example illustrates EL composite expressions. Composite expressions
are formed by grouping together multiple EL expressions. Each of them is
evaluated from left to right, coerced to String, all those strings are
concatenated, and the result is coerced to the expected type.
