How to get property value for IF?

[Imre Tokai]

Hello,


I want to check if one other property of same bean that status belongs to has null value. If it has, radio buttons should be disabled

<c:if test=""> <---what should i put here?
<html:radio styleId="radio" value="1" property="status"/>Enabled
<html:radio styleId="radio" value="0" property="status"/>Disabled
</c:if>


<c:if test=""> <---what should i put here?
<html:radio styleId="radio" value="1" property="status" disabled="true"/>Enabled
<html:radio styleId="radio" value="0" property="status" disabled="true"/>Disabled
</c:if>

Should i work with getProperty?

No, but you haven't given us enough info to help you further either.

The basic way to test for equality would be something along the line of:

<c:if test="${bean.property1 == bean.property2}">    

assuming that bean is in scope.

You might also want to explore the ternary operator of the EL to help shorten your code. You've got a lot of needless repetition in the code you posted.

Thanks for your answer!


When i want to display the value of property, i can do it simply in the text label:

<td valign="top"><html:text property="status" styleId="textfield6" /></td>

everything is OK,
but i don't know how to use the value for the IF?
<c:if test=""> <---what should i put here?

Did you see my example?

I'm going to move this to the Struts forum because you seem to be relying upon Struts tags.

This is the header of my form

<html:form action="/secure/goUserManagement.do" method="post">
 <html:hidden property="userId"/>
 <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="appscreen">
   <thead>
      <tr class="tablehead2">
         <td height="25" colspan="5">Edit User:</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
       <td width="200" height="25" valign="top"><strong>User      Name</strong>
       </td>
       <td width="10" valign="top">:</td>
       <td width="250" valign="top"><html:text property="username"/></td>
       <td valign="top"> </td>
       <td valign="top"><span class="ERROR"><html:errors property="username"/></span> </td>
      </tr>

I'm passing UserManagementForm to the .jsp page

I tried with:

<c:if test="${ UserManagementForm.status eq 1 }">
 <html:radio styleId="radio" value="1" property="status"/>Enabled
 <html:radio styleId="radio" value="0" property="status"/>Disabled
</c:if> 

but then Exception is raised.

I also tried with:

<c:if test="${ status eq 1 }">
 <html:radio styleId="radio" value="1" property="status"/>Enabled
 <html:radio styleId="radio" value="0" property="status"/>Disabled
</c:if> 

but the the IF is always false.

I checked the value of status in one text label and it is OK

Problem solved:

The problem was that i didn't pass the UserManagementForm, but the DynaActionForm.
If sy knows how to do this directly with DynaActionForm i'd appreciate that answer! Thanks!
