JSTL if else

[Micale Raj]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement if/else in JSTL. My Code is

<c:choose>
<c:when test="${ROW_DATA.status.value != null}">
<fmt:message key="${ROW_DATA.status.value}"/>
<h5> not null </h5>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<fmt:message key="${ROW_DATA.chargeView.status.value}"/>
<h5>supposed to be null </h5>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>

but the output shows both if else parts.
Here's the output

"Processed
not null

Processed
supposed to be null"

Can any body help .
Thanks in advance

Hi Raj,

You got the solution. it sounds good.
I would like to add on to your post.
you need not include "c.tld" in WEB-INF.
it is sufficient , if you add a taglib directive as follows:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"%>
Make sure that you have jstl.jar and standard.jar files are present in your WEB-INF/lib directory.

Thanks

This is an old URI for JSTL 1.0. You should be using JSTL 1.2 at this point which has a different URI.
