[jira] Created: (STR-3055) Figure out the 'disabled="${!empty pageScope}" in EL-Example

Figure out the 'disabled="${!empty pageScope}" in EL-Example
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: STR-3055
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-3055
             Project: Struts 1
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Apps
    Affects Versions: 1.3.9
            Reporter: Henri Yandell
            Assignee: Henri Yandell
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.3.10, 1.4.0


The EL-Example has lots of 'disabled="${!empty pageScope}". This seems hugely confusing - why say that and not just 'true' or 'false'.

At the minimum, need to explain when it's happening so people know a field is meant to be disabled.

[jira] Resolved: (STR-3055) Figure out the 'disabled="${!empty pageScope}" in EL-Example

Paul Benedict resolved STR-3055.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

After playing around with the app, it became obvious that the cryptic "!empty pageScope" is a way of demonstrating EL. Yes, a verbose way of getting true or false, but a sure way of generating those values through an example.

------------------------------------

So, dumb question. How do you control the pageScope emptiness through the app?

I don't recall ever seeing the boolean result change; so things were always disabled.

You can't control it. It's just a fancy-pants way of saying true or false through an expression.
