Removing scriplets

[Vishnu Prakash]

Here is my code.

    
 
<%String s="";%>
<logic:empty name="ABCForm" property="searchType">
<%s= "searchABC.do"; %>
</logic:empty>
<logic:notEmpty name="ABCForm" property="searchType">
<%s= "viewABCResults.do"; %>
</logic:notEmpty>
 

Can you please suggest me how to avoid scriplets here.

write a <script> tag.
in a function write something along the lines of:

<script type="text/javascript">
    
   function setAction(s){
    if (s == "a"){
      document.form.action = "searchAction.do";
    }else if (s == "b"){
      ...
    }
}
 
</script>

I know its basically the same thing, but you asked...

Just substitute:

<bean:define id="s" value="whatever" />

for your assignments to the variable "s". If the type is not specified in a bean:define, it defaults to String. When you want to display "s", you can do so with either the EL expression ${s} or a bean:write tag.
