Re: [JSTL] Sub-Application based conditionals (Solved)

[Eddie Bush <ek...@swbell.net>]

I should have been using:

test='${prefix == "/member"}'

instead of what I was.  Problem solved.  Man I feel stupid.  I guess I 
wanted it to be Unix shell instead of JSTL - LOL.

Sorry to bother!

Yeah, I'm hammering hard on some proof-of-concept stuff.  After all the 
"preaching" I've done to folks to "use the JSTL, it's *the* standard!" I 
figured I should actually start using it myself <snicker/>.  I knew it 
had to be something small -- just kept missing the syntax.  You'd laugh 
your butt off if you saw the convoluted ways I was trying to change 
exposing my data so that "the JSTL could find it" - ha!  I'm here to 
tell you my <bean:define> worked just *fine* -- I just didn't look for 
it right using the JSTL!!!

<sigh/>

Well, I've got a nice solution for determining the current sub-app now 
-- and menu-controlling code to make things a link or not, depending on 
the module I'm currently working out of.  There is a lot of "slick" 
power to the JSTL.  I can see where (once you pull your head out of your 
... <clear-throat/>) it's quite intuative and ... very nice.  I'm going 
to enjoy this a lot!

It's too bad this stuff requires spec 2.3/1.2.  I wind up having to help 
a friend some and he's kind of stuck with a 2.2 spec container right 
now...  This would make his life much easier ...

Night!  (Go get some sleep, goof-ball!)
