Here is the line: <td width="30"><c:out value="${manageFilerForm.ssnOnFile}" /></td>
The boolean "y":"n" solution looks the cleanest. I am using Tomcat 5.0, and I tried this: <td width="30"><c:out value="${manageFilerForm.ssnOnFile?'Y':'N'}" /></td> but got the following error: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: <h3>Validation error messages from TagLibraryValidator for c</h3><p>64: tag = 'out' / attribute = 'value': An error occurred while parsing custom action attribute "value" with value "${manageFilerForm.ssnOnFile?'Y':'N'}": Encountered "?", expected one of ["}", ".", ">", "gt", "<", "lt", "==", "eq", "<=", "le", ">=", "ge", "!=", "ne", "[", "+", "-", "*", "/", "div", "%", "mod", "and", "&&", "or", "||"]</p> It may help you to know that I'm using Struts 1.2.4 Hyrum -----Original Message----- From: Rick Reumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 1:04 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: ActionForm problem Hyrum wrote the following on 3/17/2005 2:56 PM: > I have successfully populated a jsp with items from a ValidatorActionForm. > One of the properties is a boolean, and it is printing the word "true" on my > page, where I want a 'Y' or 'N'.

(null) Could you paste the actual full JSP line that is causing the error? Also, for what's it worth, if you are using a JSP2.0 container like Tomcat5, you might want to stick to using boolean for your property and then you can do: ${manageFilerForm.ssnOnFile?"Y":"N"} or the old way if not jsp2.0 but using JSTL <c:choose> <c:when test='${manageFilerForm.ssnOnFile}'>Y</c:when> <c:otherwise>N</c:otherwise> </c:choose> -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
