Hi there,
I have a simple 'if statement' which is not returning true when i think it  
should.  When i try and test a value for spaces i seem to get into  trouble.
 
ie. 
<c:if test="${nc.readyDate !=''}"> seems to always return true  whether it 
contains a value or not..
 
how should i rewrite the test?
