Re: Expression Language in JSP and JasperException
Hi David,
Ok forgive me now, but this is getting confusing. Where does
result come into this picture? Were you expecting actionBean to be an
instance of a different class? You aren't offering a lot to go on here.
Sorry for mixup. I've just thought that it is just about some option
in Tomcat configuration or something, and I haven't knew it. Like I
see... It may be not. :(
Here goes more background.
login.jsp (handled by LoginActionBean class) redirects after
submission login form to calculator.jsp. After submition form from
calculator.jsp (what is handled by CalculatorActionBean class) it
returns to calculator.jsp and shows the result of mathematical
equation. Sources of calculator.jsp and it's class are placed below.
Problem shows when I'm submiting from LoginActionVean to
calculator.jsp. Like I wrote before, LoginActionBean doesn't have
result field because it doesn't need it. But JSP (in this case used by
two classes) expects result in:
46:c:if test=${!empty actionBean.result}
47:Result: ${actionBean.result}br/
line.
Here actionBean could be an instance of different class.

Re: Expression Language in JSP and JasperException
Ok. I'm not overly familiar with Stripes, so you'll have to bear with
me a little. I can think of a few ways to handle this.
First, look at what makes a request from calculator.jsp unique. You
could use the referrer header, the value of a submit button, or the
presence of the equation request parameter. Below is an example using
the submit button:
c:if test=${(param.submitBtn == 'Calculate') and (actionBean.result !=
null)}
pThe answer is ${actionBean.result}/p
/c:if
A better solution would be to name the actionBean that's a result of
CalculatorActionBean something more descript than just 'actionBean' like
'calcBean'. The main advantage here is it's simple and you could use
your original expression language test -- just change the name of the
object being tested:
c:if test=${calcBean.result != null}
... display the result
/c:if
A more complicated solution if you can't change the name of 'actionBean'
might be to test the type of actionBean like...
c:set var=calcAvailablejsp:expression
(request.getAttribute(actionBean) != null)
(request.getAttribute(actionBean) instanceOf
com.some.packages.action.CalculatorActionBean )/jsp:expression/c:set
c:choose
c:when test=${calcAvailable and (actionBean.result != null)}
pThe answer is ${actionBean.result}/p
/c:when
c:when test=${calcAvailable}
pSorry, I couldn't understand your equation. Please rephrase it.../p
/c:when
c:otherwise
!-- Just logged in. Display the form. --
/c:otherwise
/c:choose
The essential point of this is testing for a property to be null is not
the same as testing for it's presence. You'll have to know if it has a
property before you can test the property for null.

Expression Language in JSP and JasperException
Hi,
When I'm using in JSP:
c:if test=${actionBean.result != null}.../c:if
Tomcat (5.5.17) throws exception (javax.servlet.ServletException:
Unable to find a value for result in object of class
com.some.packages.action.LoginActionBean using operator .).
I've heard that it can be configured in Tomcat, so he could pass
through it without an exception. Is it true? If so, how to do that?
Regards,

Re: Expression Language in JSP and JasperException
Does com.some.packages.action.LoginActionBean have a public method
getResult()? The test below effectively translates to:
if (actionBean.getResult() != null) {
// some stuff to do
}

The problem is that there could be a class that has no property with
name result. In another case there could be another class (bean) that
has such property (than of course it works fine, but at first case
Tomcat throws exception).

Maybe but let's keep debugging simple. The expression language is
expecting a class conforming to the JavaBeans standard. What does the
class com.some.packages.action.LoginActionBean look like?

That's what it sounds like to me:

I actually have some jsp code that does stuff like this, but in my case
there is a type property that each object has. I check that and do
the appropriate thing.
If you want to hard code a class name in your jsp page, you can just use
${foo.class.name} to figure out what type of object you have.
Or, if you want to get really crazy you could loop over ${foo.class.methods}
checking if there's a method named getResult.
But, you'd probably be better off figuring out way to ensure the objects
you're working with have a result property.
