bean:write

[Vijay Chandran]

Dear friends,

I am using <bean:write> tag for displaying data in a JSP.


Is there any way to get a substring of the value i get in the property attribute of the <bean : write>

Kindly provide your help.
Regards,

I do not know of a way to get a substring. I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but in general if I find myself having to implement logic that is more than nontrivial in my JSP, I try to move that into a method in my form. For example, if I had an SSN and I wanted to mask all but the last 4 digits I would add a method to my form named getMaskedSSN(), move the logic there and then use the property maskedSSN in my JSP.

i was facing same problem

and find out solution something like this...

<bean:define id="text" scope="request">
<bean:write name="smsBean" property="strSmsText" />
</bean:define>

<%=text.substring(0,50);%>
