Subject: Re: Empty and Equal From: "Tim Chen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === Sorry, clarify a bit on part 1.
i have found a way to do this using bean:size and then checking using logic:equal versus logic:notEqual but I was wondering more on if there was a one liner (or taglib) solution that I could use. Currently, the code looks like: <bean:size id="dTypeCnt" name="specification" property="detailTypes"/> <div style="margin-left:20;color:#ff0000;font:smaller"> <logic:notEqual name="dTypeCnt" value="0"> Detail Types<br/> </logic:notEqual> <logic:equal name="dTypeCnt" value="0"> Summary Types<br/> </logic:equal> </div> That works fine. but is there a way to do it better/more concisely? -Tim "Tim Chen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:a604t7$s4g$[EMAIL PROTECTED].; > Hi all, > > 1) Didnt the struts taglib use to have a way to test if a collection is > empty? > > I cant seem to find it anymore. > > I have a bean that contains an ArrayList. > > I want to Output a message if that ArrayList is empty. > > I also want a header if it is notEmpty. > > I could use the iterate tag but that would print the header for each > iteration of the tag > > unless I use some scriptlets to check inside the tag (which defeats the > whole purpose of using taglibs i think). > > 2) I am using the equal and notEqual of the logic tag to check for a > constant value.
