To do something like that, you would have to use JSTL functions because the DOT notation you have written is interpreted as:
attachBean.getAttachMimeType().getStartsWith(<--- error So, each DOT is referencing a property of the JavaBean. I would recommend checking out Sun's JSP/JSTL documentation. Or taking a closer look at the examples application that is included with Jakarta's Standard Taglibs. -----Original Message----- From: Caroline Jen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 2:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: What Is Wrong With This <c:if test=" ..."> Tag?
