How to compare request attribute in Jsp in struts2

[gyanendra ojha]

hi All,
i want a compare a request attribute (say "actionName") that has been set in a Action class in a jsp with struts2 tag ( i.e </s:if> ) in a Struts2 application.
but, my code is not working . please, check where i am wrong and suggest me right way to do it.

i have also visited Struts2 documentation but was in vain.

My Action :---->

public class AboutProject extends ActionSupport {

public String execute() throws Exception {

String actionName=getActionName();
HttpServletRequest request =
ServletActionContext.getRequest();
request.setAttribute("actionName", "edit");
return "SUCCESS";
}
}



My JSP :--->

<s:if test="%{actionName}=='edit'">
<tr> <td> action is Edit </td></tr>
</s:if>
<s:else>
<tr> <td> action is Not Edit </td></tr>
</s:else>

<s:if test="%{actionName}=='edit'">

will look in the root of the value stack - basically, you action.
To reference the request you will need something like

<s:if test="%{#request.actionName}=='edit'">

If memory serves me right!
