Conditionally Generating Output Using JSTL in a JSP Page
Any non-JSP code in a JSP file is called template text and is
automatically written to the output stream. The JSTL tags <c:if>
and <c:choose> make it possible to dynamically generate template
text depending on a condition.
The <c:if> tag generates its body if the expression in the
test attribute evaluates to the boolean value true
or the string value "true":
An if/else action requires the use of the <c:choose> tag:
Multiple conditions can be evaluated using the <c:choose> tag:
The <c:out> can also be used to conditionally generate template text.
If the value attribute is null, a default value (if specified)
is generated. The default value can be specified using the default
attribute or can be specified in the body content. This
example demonstrates both methods:
<%-- Declare the core library --%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/c.tld" prefix="c" %>
<%-- Simple if conditions --%>
<c:if test='${param.p == "someValue"}'>
Generate this template text if p equals someValue
</c:if>
<c:if test='${param.p}'>
Generate this template text if p equals "true"
</c:if>
<%-- A simple if/else condition --%>
<c:choose>
<c:when test='${param.p == "someValue"}'>
Generate this template text if p equals someValue
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
Otherwise generate this template text
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
<c:choose>
<c:when test='${param.p == "0"}'>
Generate this template text if p equals 0
</c:when>
<c:when test='${param.p == "1"}'>
Generate this template text if p equals 1
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
Generate this template text if p equals anything else
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
<%-- Default value in an attribute --%>
<c:out value='${param.p}' default="Generate this if p is null" />
<%-- Default value in the body content --%>
<c:out value='${param.p}'>
Generate this if p is null
</c:out>
Thank you.
very good!!
Thanks a lot, very helpfull!
very helpful ..thank u very much
This is really a very booby example.. thanks a lot
Excellent guidance
These boots are made from very flexible materials and the sole is generally made of rubber. At the beginning, the style of these boots were basic but as time went by, the style changed according to the style of the sports. They can be used for running.
someone may want this..
