Janice -
I do multiple bean:defines (with values, not with name/property attributes) in some of my jsps, and never have problems, and am therefore assuming that the name/property attributes are causing the problem.
Here may be a non-jstl workaround you can try:
<bean:define id="lastClientName">
<bean:write name="widget" property="clientName" />

Unfortunately, I need to get all kinds of approval to use JSTL, is there no Struts tag that will do this?
TIA, J

Subject: Re: Need an alternative to bean:define
Is JSTL an option? I find Struts Logic tag hard to read! If so, I think this should do:
<c:set var="lastCN" value=""/> <logic:iterate...> <c:if test="${widget.clinetName != lastCN}"> .... </c:if> <c:set var="lastCN" value="${widget.clientName}"/> </logic:iterate>
HTH. Of course this is from top of my head, i haven't tried it.

My brain has stopped working. I need an alternative to bean:define.
What I'm TRYING to do is iterate through a list, displaying a certain bit of code only when its different than the last iteration (grouping).
Here's a snip:
<bean:define id="lastClientName" value="" />
<logic:iterate id="widget" name="widgets">
<logic:notEqual name="widget" property="clientName" value="<%=lastClientName%>">
<tr>
<td colspan=all>
client: <bean:write name="widget" property="clientName" />
</td>
</tr>
<bean:define id="lastClientName" name="widget" property="clientName" />
</logic:notEqual>
End of snip.
This won't compile since bean "lastClientName" has already been defined. I can't change my version of Struts.
What would be some clean syntax to use instead?
Thanks so much in advance!
