I just wrote this:
<logic:notEqual name="resView" property="personBirthDate" value="">
<bean:write name="resView" property="personBirthDate" />
</logic:notEqual>
<logic:equal name="resView" property="personBirthDate" value="">
--
</logic:equal>
What I really need is to print out the birthDate property if it's not blank
and not null, otherwise, print the '--'. Can I combine notEqual and
present? [implied question: HOW?]
Also, the above seems to me the equivalent of writing:
if ( something.equals("") )
//do one thing;
if ( !something.equals("") )
System.out.println(something);
which is downright PAINFUL to look at.
I tried to look at the generated JSP, but I couldn't find the translation of
the logic:equal/notEqual tags in there. I guess I just want to know that
the code isn't calling resView.getPersonBirthDate() multiple times. Can I
rest assured that the generated code is as efficient as possible?
Any suggestions appreciated!
