Checking for specific page

[Joseph Smithern]

I am trying to create a condition to check if I am on a specific web page .

if  (mypresentPage == "/mypath/page.jsp")
{
     //do something here
}

Please advise how I can do that because this will be located in the top of a template page in my JSP pages. If the user goes to the specific page called page.jsp then I want the above condtion to kick in.

Checking for the specific page URL would be a poor way to do something like this. It's too subject to change based upon server and changes to the projects.

Rather, I'd set a page-scoped variable that would trigger the behavior.

Using JSTL syntax, on the page:

<c:set var="triggerSomeCondition" value="${true}"/>

and in the "template":

<c:if test="${triggerSomeCondition}">
   ... whatever ..
</c:if>

If you're not using the JSTL, you should be. If you're still not using the JSTL, scriplet equivalents of the code are easy to figure out.
