testing on empty string or null with jstl

Hello, I have the following code: c:choose c:when test=(${param.yourName} != '') and (${param.yourEmail} != '') and (${param.friendsEmail1} != '') email something /c:when c:otherwise [c:out value=${param.yourName}/] [c:out value=${param.yourEmail}/] [c:out

Using the JSTL expression language vs. using Java as a scripting language

I'm encountering developers who question the value of the EL, since it often isn't really much different than using Java as a scripting language. Using Java as a scripting language in JSP pages is more akin to JavaScript, it seems, than it is to the EL. See the snippet below for an example of

Re: testing on empty string or null with jstl

according to the specs, I believe EL will evaulate null value to zero length string. if you treat zero length string and null as the same condition, does that work for your situation? I'm a little confused by the example you provide. the first when checks to make sure name and email are not

Re: testing on empty string or null with jstl

Hi. Try c:when test=${ (param.yourName != '') and (param.yourEmail != '') and (param.friendsEmail1 != '') } instead of c:when test=(${param.yourName} != '') and (${param.yourEmail} != '') and (${param.friendsEmail1} != '') Greetings Wim Bervoets wrote: Hello, I have the following code:

RE: testing on empty string or null with jstl

RE: testing on empty string or null with jstl

Wim, I am new to JSTL, but I seems to me that your test expressions is malformed. According to A.2.1 of JSTL spec, mixing EL and text as part of an attribute concatenates the text and the results of EL evaluation. Furthermore, I think that only binary and operator is supported. Try using this

Comment: JSTL SQL and auto-increment keys

Hello, There seems to be a limitation in JSTL SQL taglib. As new connection is made for every query and update tag, in case of multiple inserts it makes it difficult to obtain the value of an auto-increment key from the last insert. One workaround is to use transactions, but that is a fairly

Re: [standard] sql:param doesn't accept a body

When I try to use a parameter inside the body of a sql:query tag I got the following exception : (after a 4 exception with message null and priviledge error) javax.servlet.ServletException: The taglib validtor in urn:jsptld:/WEB-INF/tlds/sql.tld?page=/bodyXXX.jsp failed to validate document

Re: Using the JSTL expression language vs. using Java as a scripting language

I'm all for the EL... I was impressed when I found that I could do this: c:forEach var=user items=${bean.userList} tr tdc:out value=${user.userId}//td /tr /c:forEach instead of this: % ListIterator userList = bean.getUserList(); while (userList.hasNext()) { User

Sorry, I didn't understand. Is it the fix already available in the night build? or I have to wait the next release?, or there is a workaround.??? Thanks lot. Andrea Grittini -Original Message- From: Shawn Bayern [] Sent: martedì 2 aprile 2002 19.53 To: Tag Libraries Users List Subject:

RE: [standard] sql:param doesn't accept a body

Oh, yes. Sorry -- by CVS head, I mean the latest branch of CVS, which is the one that the nighly builds are drawn from. So the next nightly build implements the fix and should allow you to use sql:param appropriately. (In fact, the problem itself was only introduced in another recent nightly

mailer taglib problem

Hi, I'm using mailer taglib, and I downloaded it from the nightly build (obviously). I followed all the instruction and samples and finally deploy my code. No mail was sent, and I'm not sure whether the problem lies at the mailer taglib or other things (e.g. the mail server). It didn't dump
