Thanks Joey, I got it working. <bean:size.../> does the trick. Thinh

To see if the collection is just an empty collection: Inside your <logic:present> you can use a combo of tags from the bean and logic taglibs: <bean:size id="mySize" name="myArray"/> <logic:equal name="mySize" value="0"> No records. </logic:equal> <logic:notEqual name="mySize" value="0"> <bean:write name="mySize"/> record(s) </logic:notEqual> And you don't have to do the <bean:define> since most of the tags will be able to find the collection in whichever scope it is in. In my sample program that I wrote to test this information, I created a List and shoved it into the request. I never mentioned which scope it is in, though you can specify.
