Struts display:column when/otherwise

[Pierre-Yves Chibon]

Hi,

I am facing a small problem in my jsp.

   
<%@taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<%@taglib uri="http://displaytag.sf.net" prefix="display" %>
<%@taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

<logic:present name="foobar" scope="session">
    <display:table name="sessionScope.foobar" class="displayTable" export="false" pagesize="500" id="row">
         
         <%-- Method column changes according to the value in the cell --%>
          <c:choose>
              <c:when test="row.method == 'test'}" >
                  <display:column title="test" property=" OK  " sortable="true" />
              </c:when>
              <c:otherwise>
                  <display:column title="test" value='-' property='method' />" sortable="true" />
              </c:otherwise>
          </c:choose>
 

It compiles fine, but does not work.
The problem comes from the test:
<c:when test="row.method == 'test'}" >
is not correct, neither is:
<c:when test="foobar.method == 'test'" > (which actually even crash when ran)

Playing with the id of the display:table does not seem to change a thing.


It is probably very simple but the last hour I spent in google did not help me...

Please be sure to ask Struts questions in the Struts forum. I have moved this post there for you.

Sorry and thanks for moving it.

so I finally got something working via:

    <display:table name="sessionScope.foobar" class="displayTable" export="true"
                   pagesize="100" id="row" >

        <display:column title="Name" property="name" sortable="true" />

        <%--Method column changes according to the value in the cell--%>
        <display:column title="Method" sortable="true"  >
            <c:choose>
                <c:when test="${row.method=='test'}">
                    <c:choose>
                        <c:when test="${row.type=='test2'}" >
                            <c:out value="<a target='_new' href='http://link.org/?term=${row.name}'> link </a>" escapeXml="false" />
                        </c:when>
                        <c:otherwise>
                            <c:out value="" />
                        </c:otherwise>
                    </c:choose>
                </c:when>
                <c:otherwise>
                    <c:out value="" />
                </c:otherwise>
            </c:choose>
        </display:column>
