Struts 1.2 Equal Tag

[S Subbu]

Is there a way of comparing two session variables using struts logic tag.
Or
we can only compare variables with constants ?

Hi Subbu,
Did you try bean:defining the session variable and used it as value in logic:equal's value attribute? I never tried but if doesnt work, there should be no other way i guess

I just looked into the struts source code for the implementation (EqualTag.java, CompareTagBase.java and TagUtils) and found that the value of 'value' is just taken directly and just being converted based on the object.

However, it makes sense, since these are session attributes, why dont we do the same comparison at action level and set it in the form to use it in the JSP - this should be the best way - any comments?
