Ok. I'm not overly familiar with Stripes, so you'll have to bear with
me a little. I can think of a few ways to handle this.
First, look at what makes a request from calculator.jsp unique. You
could use the referrer header, the value of a submit button, or the
presence of the equation request parameter. Below is an example using
the submit button:
<c:if test="${(param.submitBtn == 'Calculate') and (actionBean.result !=
null)}">
<p>The answer is ${actionBean.result}</p>
</c:if>
A better solution would be to name the actionBean that's a result of
CalculatorActionBean something more descript than just 'actionBean' like
'calcBean'. The main advantage here is it's simple and you could use
your original expression language test -- just change the name of the
object being tested:
<c:if test="${calcBean.result != null}">
... display the result....
</c:if>
A more complicated solution if you can't change the name of 'actionBean'
might be to test the type of actionBean like...
<c:set var="calcAvailable"><jsp:expression>
(request.getAttribute("actionBean") != null) &&
(request.getAttribute("actionBean") instanceOf
com.some.packages.action.CalculatorActionBean )</jsp:expression></c:set>
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${calcAvailable and (actionBean.result != null)}">
<p>The answer is .... ${actionBean.result}</p>
</c:when>
<c:when test="${calcAvailable}">
<p>Sorry, I couldn't understand your equation. Please rephrase it...</p>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<!-- Just logged in. Display the form. -->
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
The essential point of this is testing for a property to be null is not
the same as testing for it's presence. You'll have to know if it has a
property before you can test the property for null.
