JSTL tag vs struts tags

[Manjunath Narayana]

Hi,

is there is any performance advantage of JSTL equivalent tag of struts logic:equal tag. Could you also give the JSTL tag for that.

Thanks

As far as I know, there's no appreciable performance advantage to JSTL, but, unlike Struts, it is a standard, so if you use the JSTL tags you're guaranteed to have support for them far into the futue.

An equivalent tag would be

 <c:if test="${ var1 == var2 }"></c:if>

I agree with Colin. There isn't an appreciable performance difference between the two tag libraries, but JSTL is a standard part of J2EE, and Struts tags are not. JSTL tags are also much more powerful than Struts tags. I generally use Struts tags only when there is no equivalent JSTL tag (<html:xxx> tags, for example).
