Jstl <c:if>

[GuyBrush Treepwood]

I'm trying to use the jstl tags in my struts application.

web.xml
__

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/c-rt</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/c-rt.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>


Main.jsp
__

<%@ taglib uri="/c-rt" prefix="c" %>

(...)

<logicresent name="accountBean" scope="session">
<c:if test="${sessionScope.accountBean.authenticated != true}">
<html:link page="/service/signonForm.do">Sign On</html:link>|
<html:link page="/service/newAccountForm.do">Register</html:link>
</c:if>
</logicresent>


I'm sure there is an accountBean in the session, and that the
authenticated propery is false, but the links are not displayed. What's
wrong with my code? I just can't see it.

<c:if test="${sessionScope.accountBean.authenticated != true}">

I think the problem is in the above line. Don't explicitly refer to
the scope, code it like this:

<c:if test="${accountBean.authenticated != true}">

The JSTL logic will find accountBean, regardless of its scope.

Tried that, still doesn't work.

I added a <cut value="${accountBean.username}" /> to test, and it seems
the ${..} is not interpreted. It just prints ${accountBean.username}
litteraly on the screen.

Your problem has to do with you using

<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/c-rt.tld</taglib-location>

instead of

<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tld/c.tld</taglib-location>

The rt TLD does not support EL.
