Okay, I didn't realize you were getting the values from a properties file...and Chris got me on the double-quotes (doh!), though his single quotes won't work within a Struts tag (na-na-na-na-na!!); the "key" quotes have to be escaped.
-----Original Message----- From: Bartley, Chris P [PCS] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 1:04 PM A couple notes: * Mark's suggestion will only work if you've already put the message in the session under the "key" attribute. * The mix of double quotes in Mark's code probably won't work...i believe it should instead read: <logic:equal parameter='<%= session.getAtribute("key") %>' value="true"> You guessed right! You win an auomatic avocado peeler! </logic:equal> Maybe try something like this instead (only works with Struts 1.1): <bean:define id="foo"> <bean:message key="isThisTheRightValue"/> </bean:define> <logic:equal parameter="<%= foo %>" value="true"> You guessed right! You win an auomatic avocado peeler! </logic:equal> Or this, if you're using Struts 1.0.2: <bean:define id="foo" value='<%= ((MessageResources)request .getAttribute("org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE")) .getMessage("isThisTheRightValue") %>'/> <logic:equal parameter="<%= foo %>" value="true"> You guessed right! You win an auomatic avocado peeler! </logic:equal> Hope that helps. chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Galbreath, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 11:39 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: message checking > > > Instead of using <bean:message> use a scriptlet: > > <logic:equal parameter="<%= session.getAtribute("key") %>" > value="true"> > You guessed right!
