I think you are. :o) Do you really want two pages if the "if" statement only changes one line? You could predetermine the line in an action but it depends if you follow push or pull styles.. I prefer pull.
Bring on the if tag .. unless the equal tag is really "if" in disguise (still learning the struts 1.0 tags). Can I use equals to do: <equal property="myBean.subBean.active" value="true" > ... </equal><notEqual property="myBean.subBean.active" value="true" > ... </notEqual> where getActive() or isActive() returns boolean? In which case, if already exists.. A Java if statement only checks a boolean value. everything else (no pun intended) is an expression evaluating to boolean. -----Original Message----- From: adam.hardy Sent: 12 February 2002 17:54 To: struts-user Cc: adam.hardy Subject: RE: "if" tag How many pages do you need an If tag / scriplet for? Why not switch the Action forward to choose the right page? Just have 2 pages with no Ifs. Perhaps I'm being too simplistic.
