Hi all,
I have a User object which has a Country object attached to it,
representing the country that the user is from. If I do
<bean:write name="user" property="country" />
then I get the output of Country.toString(). However, say I want to call
one of the other methods in country, like population. Is there an
elegant way to do this? Something like
<bean:write name="user" property="country.population" />
where it would be translated behind-the-scenes into
user.getCountry().getPopulation() If there's a way to do this with
Struts Beans or if there's another tag library that would do it, I'd
appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. I want to
avoid the use of <% %> if possible. Thanks for your time!
Without thinking about it very much, I would expect that one or other of
these would work:
<bean:write name="user" property="country.population" />
<bean:write name="user.country" property="population" />
but failing that, JSTL would probably be the better choice:
${user.country.population}
No muss, no fuss. If you aren't familiar with JSTL, take an hour to
learn it.
