Hi You should look at Clay in the Shale project. This is a piece of cake using symbols in Clay. Hermod

I was just curious, is there any way I can change the value of a dataTable based on different conditions? I'll try to give a simple example to explain what I want. :) Let's say I use the graphicImage tag, in the value property I could either write the path to the image <t:graphicImage value="/images/myImage.gif" Or I can use an expression that returns a String pointing to the image <t:graphicImage value#{myBean.pathToImage}" I have the need of using the same jsp twice, but based on a boolean property the datasource for the dataTable on this page would differ. Theoretically, this way of setting the value-property would represent what I would want to do: <t:dataTable value="#{myBean.boolean ? '#{oneBean.dataModel}' : '#{ anotherBean.dataModel}'}" This would work if the value property expected a String, but instead it expects an expression that directly points to a collection of some sort. I also tried to point to a method in my bean that returns the correct value-string based on the Boolean: <t:dataTable value="#{myBean.tableValue where the getTableValue-method is like this: public String getTableValue() { if(condition) return "#{oneBean.dataModel}"; return "#{anotherBean.dataModel}"; } But of course this fails since the dataTable expects a collection and not a String. I know that I in my getTableValue-method can return the proper collection: public DataModel getTableValue() { if(condition) return getOneBean().getDataModel(); return getAnotherBean().getDataModel(); } but then I would have to set the references to these other beans, and I can't do that because it would cause a cyclic reference.. So, are there other solutions to this or do I have to rethink my way of doing this? :) Regards, Eivind * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This email with attachments is solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
