Using c:if ,logic:empty to check existence of bean data

[lohithbusi reddy]

I have set the properties of bean to null. I want to check it using <c:if> or <logic:empty>, I should not use any properties of the bean in these tags.

There is no built-in function either in the Struts <logic:xxx> tags or in JSTL to check whether all the properties of a bean are null. You would have to write such a function yourself.

In the bean, just write a method isAllPropertiesNull() that returns true if all properties are null, and false if they aren't.

Then in your jsp:

<if test="${myBean.allPropertiesNull}">
