Jay,
Have you looked into JSTL's choose tag?
<core:choose>
<core:when test='${ empty requestScope.activeMenu || requestScope.activeMenu
== "displayHome"}'>
<tr class="Selected">
<td class="LeftNavigation">
<bean-el:message key="navigation.left.home"/>
</td>
</tr>
</core:when>
<core:otherwise>
<tr class="NotSelected">
<td class="LeftNavigation">
<html-el:link action="displayHome">
<bean-el:message key="navigation.left.home"/>
</html-el:link>
</td>
</tr>
</core:otherwise>
</core:choose>
Hope this helps

Subject: what's the best way to have an if/else clause?
I want to iterate over a set of beans, creating widget A if property is set,
widget B if not. Therefore, I'm looking for an "if/else" structure. The
closest thing I can find is <logic:equal> and <logic:notEqual>. I'm
assuming that there is no straight forward way to implement an 'else' clause
in tags, so I'm thinking that I need to so something like the following:
<logic:iterate name="SearchForm"
property="tableDesc.batchAction"
id="element" >
<logic:equal name="id" parameter="isSubmit" value="true">
<!-- insert <html:button> here -->
</logic:equal>
<logic:notEqual name="id" parameter="isSubmit" value="true">
<!-- insert <html:submit> here -->
</logic:equal>
</logic:iterate>
Basically, to implement the else clause by performing a second if statement.
Is this the correct way to do things? Is there a better way? Would I be
better off using scriptlet code?
JDG
