what's wrong with this code

I need to call different actions based on one of the parameters to URI. I have following simple if else condition to call diffrent actions. but I keep getting below exception.

<%if(request.getParameter("method").equals("Edit")){%>
<html:form action="existingControlAction">
<%}else{%>

<html:form action="addControlAction">
<%}%>

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: ServletException in '/jsp/existingcontrol.jsp': /jsp/existingcontrol.jsp(169,0) The end tag "</html:html" is unbalanced

Other way I tried is storing actionName in scriptlet in which depending on this parameter I create a String variable with action name but that also doesn't seeem to be working. <html:form action="<%=actionName%>"> is not working with error in tag.

Anybody, what's wrong?

Try it this way:

<html:form action='<%=(request.getParameter("method").equals("Edit"))?"existingControlAction":"addControlAction"%>
' >

also, check to make sure that you have matching <html:html> and </html:html> tags as well as matching <html:form> and </html:form> tags.
