checking logic:match for multiple values

[Jaya Swaminathan]

Hi, I want to display a portion of the HTML if one form parameter has either of two values. I could use logic:match or logic:equal to check against one constant value. But I am not sure how i could check whether it is equal to either of the two values. Any help would be appreciated.

My advice would be to use JSTL for this. Here's an example:

<c:if test='${myForm.prop1 == 'ABC' || myForm.prop1 == "XYZ"}'></c:if>

use the jstl
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>

wasnt quite sure what u meant, but here it is
 
<c:choose>
   <c:when test='${attrib == "constant1"}'>
     -----show this----------------

   </c:when>
  <c :-o	 therwise>
   --------show this -------------
 
  </c :-o	 therwise>
</c:choose>
  

or did u mean this

<c:choose>
   <c:when test='${ (attrib == "constant1")||(attrib == "constant2") } '>
     -----show this----------------

   </c:when>
</c:choose>

Hi, Thanks for ur response. I could not use JSTL because we are using older version of JSP and i cant upgrade.

So I did this. I set a form attribute to true(used it as a flag) if the value is either of the two options and then used the logic:equal to check that the flag is set or not. It worked.
