How to use OR condition in Logic Tags

[swaroop gunta]

Hi
In my jsp i use Logic tags to check conditions
To display a particular line , we check for 2 different conditions...if either is true, we display that line..

the logic conditions are like below.
<logic:equal name="<%=X%>" property="Y.a" value="1" >
<logic:equal name="<%=X%>" property="Z.a" value="1" >

can you pls suggest me how i can easily introduce an OR between them

You have to use two logic:equal conditions and put your line inside both these conditions.

You have to use two logic:equal conditions and put your line inside both these conditions. I am not aware of any other solution as the taglib doesnt provide any other solution.

Hi
In such a case i will be printing the same line twice which is undesired

Nesting one condition inside the other will create an and condition, not an or condition.

One of the limitations of the <logic:xxx> tags is that there is no easy way to do an or condition. I'd advise you to use JSTL:

<c:if test="${y.a == 1 || z.a == 1}">whatever</c:if>

I agree that jstl would be the preferred solution. Another solution is to add a method to your form that returns a boolean. You can then reference this property in your logic tag. Something like this:

public boolean getShowSection()
{
    return (this.x == 1 || this.y == 1);
}

Thanks Merrill and Brent
I shall check out if using those tags is allowed by the standards we follow.
