Couln't you use the ignore=true flag instead? <bean:define id="bubba" name="foo" property="bar"/> <bean:write name="bubba" ignore="true"/>
If bubba were null, nothing would get written. You could take this one step further if you were simply checking the bean itself and not a property of the bean for null: <bean:write name="bubba" ignore="true"/> would ignore if the "bubba" bean could not be found in any scope. If you using a property of bubba that could be null... <bean:write name="bubba" property="bubbaProp" ignore="true"/> would write nothing if bubba was null but wouldn't if bubba.getBubbaProp() returned null, then you'd have to use the bean:define version above.

For example, say that you were doing this: <bean:write name="foo" property="bar"/> But you want to make sure that it isn't null first...so, try this: <bean:define id="bubba" name="foo" property="bar"/> <logic:present name="bubba"> <bean:write name="bubba"/> </logic:present> (i haven't tested this, so my apologies for any syntax errors) Hope that helps. chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Galbreath, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 3:37 PM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: bean:write returning null > > > I tried logic:isEmpty without success. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Thinh Doan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 4:44 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: bean:write returning null > > > Can you use logic:present ? > > Thinh > > -----Original Message----- > From: Galbreath, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 3:30 PM > To: Struts (E-mail) > Subject: bean:write returning null > > > How are you guys testing for this in JSP? > > Mark > "De recta non tolerandum sunt." > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
