html:multibox and disabled attribute

[Jonathan Lister]

I am using the multibox in a loop and would like some of the options to be disabled, depending on a property from the bean ..
I have a long winded way that works like this ..

  
      <logic:iterate id="myResult" name="divisionRecords">
        <tr>
          <td>
<!-- only display checkbox if not responsible for the division - cannot exclude divisions for which the user is responsible -->          
            <logic:equal name="myResult" property="responsible" value="false">
            <html:multibox name="settingsForm" property="selectedItems" >
            <bean:write name="myResult" property="divisionId"/>            
            </html:multibox>
            </logic:equal>
            <logic:equal name="myResult" property="responsible" value="true">
            <html:multibox name="settingsForm" property="selectedItems" disabled="true">
            <bean:write name="myResult" property="divisionId"/>            
            </html:multibox>
            </logic:equal>
          </td>
          <td>
            <bean:write name="myResult" property="name"/>            
          </td>

but I have the feeling that there *must* be a better way .. I have tried

  
      <logic:iterate id="myResult" name="divisionRecords">
        <tr>
          <td>
            <!-- Tomcat complains about Object type so force disabled flag to be a string type -->
            <bean :mrgreen: efine id="responsible" name="myResult" property="responsible" />
            <html:multibox name="pickDivisionsForm" property="selectedItems" disabled="<%= responsible %> ">            
            <bean:write name="myResult" property="divisionId"/>            
            </html:multibox>
          </td>
          <td>
            <bean:write name="myResult" property="name"/>            
          </td>
        </tr>
      </logic:iterate>

which works fine under Oracle AS but fails under Tomcat when tring to cast Object to boolean. Adding a specific type doesn't seem to help either, as in:

 <bean :mrgreen: efine id="responsible" name="myResult" property="responsible" type="java.lang.Boolean"/> 

Tomcat then complains about casting boolean to java.lang.Boolean.

I must be missing something really obvious?

TRY

<logic:iterate id="myResult" name="divisionRecords"> 
       <tr>
              <td>
                     <html:multibox name="pickDivisionsForm" property="selectedItems" disabled="<%= myResult.getResponsible() %>"> 
                       <bean:write name="myResult" property="divisionId"/>
                     </html:multibox>
          </td>
          <td>
            <bean:write name="myResult" property="name"/>
          </td>
      </tr>
</logic:iterate>

Many thanks Marc, that works if I add the class name to the logic:iterate tag as in

  
      <logic:iterate id="myResult" name="divisionRecords" type="com.vaisala.ice.snowman.snowWeb.view.DivisionRecord">
        <tr>
          <td>
            <html:multibox name="pickDivisionsForm" property="selectedItems" disabled="<%= myResult.getResponsible() %>"> 
              <bean:write name="myResult" property="divisionId"/>
            </html:multibox>
          </td>
          <td>
            <bean:write name="myResult" property="name"/>            
          </td>
        </tr>
      </logic:iterate>
