Thanks, but that's not quite what I'm trying to do. It is more like
this:
<c:if test="condition">
<html:form...>
</c:if>
... JSP code ...
<c:if test="condition">
<!-- All form elements would be enclosed in this condition. -->
<html:text ...>
</c:if>
... JSP code ...
<c:if test="condition">
</html:form>
</c:if>
However, this is invalid JSP code. You can't start a tag and not finish
it before the parent is closed. If I could do the test condition in the
html:form tag itself, then I could do...
<!-- Only print the <form> tag if condition is true -->
<html:form test="condition">
... JSP code ...
<c:if test="condition">
<!-- All form elements would be enclosed in this condition. -->
<html:text ...>
</c:if>
... JSP code ...
</html:form>
I may end up subclassing HtmlForm to do what I need to do. If condition
evaluates to true, I would still evaluate the JSP body, but I wouldn't
print the start and end tags. This seems like a limitation of JSP
and/or Struts...
Thanks,
Justin
