Hi,

Currently I have this JSF output tag:

<h:outputText value='#{ConfigGridPage.appConfig}' escape='false'/>

I only want to output this text block if the a request parameter, named "ConfigAction" is equal to "load" or "save". Otherwise, I want to output an empty string. How do I do this?

Thanks, - Dave

Use the 'rendered' attribute.

A follow up question on this. Let's say if the condition is met, I want the normal outputText to be rendered, but if the condition fails, I instead want just "[]" to be output. How could I do that?

Thanks, - Dave
