Re: Clean way to obtain a property's value...

[Adam Hardy]

Just before this thread dies, on a closely related note, does anybody 
have a nice way to get the value of a constant from a static on a class? 
This is what I don't like:

<html:select property="resultDisplayTypeId" >
 <html:options 
collection="<%=org.gargantus.GargantusLists.ESURVEY_RESULT_DISPLAY_TYPE_LIST 
%>"
   property="resultDisplayTypeId"
   labelProperty="typeName" />
</html:select>

I thought of JSTL variables, like:
<c:set var="resultDisplayTypeListKey">
  <%=org.gargantus.GargantusLists.ESURVEY_RESULT_DISPLAY_TYPE_LIST %>
</c:set>
except somehow avoiding the <% %> tags?
I thought of instantiating the class and putting in the Application 
scope and trying to access it like this:

${applicationScope.get['myConstantsBean'].resultDisplayTypeId}
but it's still messy. Does anybody have any better ideas?
Thanks!

I think you can achieve what yopu want. For example:
<bean:define id="somevar"><bean:write property="whatever"/></bean:define>
<logic:equal name="somevar" value="one">
        I'm some conditional html
</logic:equal>

Not sure, Paul... as I understand, <bean:write> directly 
outputs the value.
Therefore, I believe it would work if I wanted to use the value for
conditional (client-side) code (for instance, Javascript), but not for
storing the value in a server-side variable and using it to 
(conditionally)
generate some HTML or other...

Correct me if I'm wrong, please...
Regards,
Freddy.

Doesn't <bean:write> meet your needs?
As an aside, What is your objection to JSTL?
