Conditional display of DisplayTable of DisplayTag

[Soumya Manjunath]

Guys,

I'm using DisplayTag library to display the table in my JSP. I'm using a Table Decorator to have a hyperlink to a column.
Now, I want to display th table with hyperlink to few users depending on their role. And I want to display a regular table
with no hyperlink to another set of users. So I'm using JSTL for the conditional check. But it is throwing errors as the start tag
is inside the condition.

    
<table    border="0" >	
		    <tr>
		    <td class="gridDtl" >
		    <c:choose>
			   <c:when test="${authorized != null && authorized}">
					 <display:table name="sessionScope.searchResultList" pagesize="5" requestURI="/MessageCatalog/mc/MCSearch.do?next=true" decorator="com.rci.messagecatalog.decorator.SearchDecorator">
			   </c:when>
               <c:otherwise>
	                <display:table name="sessionScope.searchResultList" pagesize="5" requestURI="/MessageCatalog/mc/MCSearch.do?next=true">
               </c:otherwise>
            </c:choose>			  
			<display:column property="msgId" title="Message ID" sortable="true"/>  
			<display:column property="brandName" title="Brand" sortable="true"/>  
			<display:column property="groupName" title="Group" sortable="true"/>  
			<display:column property="locale" title="Locale" sortable="true"/>
			<display:column property="rtMsg" title="Root Message" sortable="true"/>
			<display:column property="transMsg" title="Translated Message" sortable="true"/>
			<display:column property="userName" title="User Name" sortable="true"/>	
			<display:column property="stickyNote" title="Sticky Note" sortable="true"/>
			</display:table>
     		</td>
    		</tr>
    	   </table>
		 </td>
		 </tr>
	  </table>

The error is

    
MCSearch.jsp:223:8: No end tag found.
					 <display:table name="sessionScope.searchResultList" pagesize="5" requestURI="/MessageCatalog/mc/MCSearch.do?next=true" decorator="com.rci.messagecatalog.decorator.SearchDecorator">

			</display:table>
                          ^-----------^

Could anybody please help me to get around with it.

Are the errors at compile time?

[Soumya Manjunath]

Thanks for your reply.

No, I don't get any compilation errors. When I try to access the page I get the above error.

Please give some inputs.

[Davie Lin]

Well Soumya,

when you try to access the page did you login as a user that is authorized or not?

Well, regardless of if the user is authorized or not, I think it's a bad idea how you have set up two different <display:table> withing <c:choose>

instead I think you should try this

  
<display:table name="sessionScope.searchResultList" pagesize="5" requestURI="/MessageCatalog/mc/MCSearch.do?next=true"
 <c:if test="${authorized != null && authorized}">decorator="com.rci.messagecatalog.decorator.SearchDecorator"</c:if> >   
<display:column property="msgId" title="Message ID" sortable="true"/>     
            <display:column property="brandName" title="Brand" sortable="true"/>     
            <display:column property="groupName" title="Group" sortable="true"/>     
            <display:column property="locale" title="Locale" sortable="true"/>   
            <display:column property="rtMsg" title="Root Message" sortable="true"/>   
            <display:column property="transMsg" title="Translated Message" sortable="true"/>   
            <display:column property="userName" title="User Name" sortable="true"/>      
            <display:column property="stickyNote" title="Sticky Note" sortable="true"/>   
            </display:table>

BTW, why is

  authorized != null && authorized  

doesn't seem like that will work or makes sense if authorized is just a boolean not an object

[Soumya Manjunath]

Thanks Davie. I made the changes as per your suggestion but the erros hasn't gone yet.

Compilation of JSP File '/jsp/MCSearch.jsp' failed:

I get this unterminated flag error. Not sure how to get around with this.
