bean:define and el tags

[Mohan Radhakrishnan <Mo...@hclcomnet.co.in>]

Hi

   I am trying to use simple if-else logic here.

	Date formatter -
	<jsp:useBean id="now" class="java.util.Date" />
	<fmt:formatDate var="currentdate" value="${now}"
pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/>

   If my indexed property in the form returns null, I use the current date.

<c:choose>
<c:when test="${form.startDate[0] != null}">
<bean:define id="date" name="form" property='<%= "startDate[" + 0 + "]"
%>'/>
</c:when>
<c:when test="${form.startDate[0] == null}">
<bean:define id="date" value="<%=currentdate%>"/>
</c:when>
</c:choose>

This is to populate my html:text box like this

<html:text value="<%=date.toString()%>"

  Is something wrong here ? It seems that the variable "date" is not found
at runtime.

Thanks,
Mohan
