Have just figured this out...for those interested:
<% String theRel1Type = test.getRel1Type(); if (theRel1Type == null) { %> <%
} else { %><jsp:getProperty name="test" property="Rel1Type" /><% } %>
cheers,
Kate

Subject: "null" display in JSP
Hi all,
Does anybody know of a good way to handle the string "null" appearing in the
HTML code of the jsp?
the results are read from a bean.
I have tried this little method:
<%!
String blanknull(String s) {
return (s == null) ? "" : s;
}
%>
called by the jsp tags:
<% String theRel1Surname = test.getRel1Surname(); String myRel1Surname =
blanknull(theRel1Surname); %> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="theSurname"
VALUE="<%=myRel1Surname %>">
however, this returns everything as " ", even when there is valid data to be
displayed
Regards,
Kate
