JSTL List count

[Atul Samnerkar]

Hi,

I can get the list count using <c:forEach> as follows,
<c:forEach items="${mylist}" var="km" varStatus="cnt">
List Count = ${cnt.count}
</c:forEach>
Is it possible that i can get this list count directly in the <c:if> test condition without iterating thru <c:forEach>

something like <c:if test="${mylist.count gt 0}"> No data found.. </c:if>

Appreciate your response on this.

Thanks & Regards,
Atul Samnerkar

You can use the JSTL 'empty' operator to see if the collection is empty

Hello,

I think:

<c:if test="${ empty( mylist ) }">

Will work just fine.

On second thought, this doesnt work its not getSize();

<c:if test="${ mylist.size == 0 }">

The 'empty' operator is your best bet for comparing to 0. If you really want to get the size however, the JSTL EL function fn:length is your friend (e.g. see JSTL Functions).
