I do the following:

// in the bean
Public boolean isActive() {
        if (blah)
                return true;
        return false;
}  
// if I know that this method will be used in jsp, I also write the
following:
Public boolean getIsActive() {
        if (isActive())
           return true;
        return false;
}

// in jsp
<logic:equal name="myBean" property="isActive" value="true">
  printout whatever...
</logic:equal>

It works...

Subject: Struts Dilemma


Often when writing a bean for use by a tag, I seem to be writing a
equivalent method that returns a string value for a boolean property.

For example:

If I mean to pass a boolean property isInactive, I am also writing a
getInactiveFlag which returns "N" or "Y" based on isInactive.

I use inactiveFlag in my tag definition and inside my tag I check for
"Y" or "N".  

Am I totally missing something or is there a better way to do this?

TIA
