What is this called in the context of Java Server Pages?

What is the proper term to refer to this in the context of JSPs?

${}

${some-bound-variable}

What do you call the dollar sign followed by brackets containing a variable?

I am looking for the correct term because I am trying to figure out why mine are not working and I don't even know the correct term for them to google.

TIA

The real name of that syntax Expression Language. You will often see it written as "EL expression" or just "EL".

But for googling I also do a search using the "jstl" term which is the standard taglib but as both are really much use together, I often find more answers in that way than with the first term.
