Well, it depends. I guess i assumed Mark didn't want to just ignore
it...maybe his JSP has something like:
<p>Bubba says "<bean:write name="foo" property="bar" ignore="true"/>"</p>
In which case, the rendered HTML would be:
<p>Bubba says ""</p>
...which would look weird. So maybe he'd just rather not write the "Bubba
says" message at all in that case, which is why i wrote the example in my
previous post the way i did. So, he could do:
<bean:define id="bubba" name="foo" property="bar"/>
<logic:present name="bubba">
<p>Bubba says "<bean:write name="bubba"/>"</p>
</logic:present>
But, i guess this would be even better:
<logic:present name="foo" property="bar">
<p>Bubba says "<bean:write name="foo" property="bar"/>"</p>
</logic:present>
Time to go home...yay for Friday.
thanks,
chris
