How to compare two strings using Struts2 tags and OGNL?
Solution 1
%{}
should be put (if necessary) around all the statement, not in the middle.
For Strings you should use .equals
, .equalsIgnoreCase
, .contains
, .indexOf
etc... Not ==
.
Change to this:
<s:iterator value="themes" status="currentRecord">
<s:if test="%{#session.usertheme.equalsIgnoreCase(themeName)}">
<td align="center" bgcolor="red">
</s:if>
<s:else>
<td align="center" bgcolor="yellow">
</s:else>
....
this works too:
<s:if test="#session.usertheme.equalsIgnoreCase(themeName)">
Solution 2
(Not an answer, but two suggestions, and I needed formatting; Andrea's answer is correct.)
For the sanity of yourself and those that follow, turn that chunk of JSP into a single line:
<s:iterator value="themes">
<tr>
<s:set var="currTheme" value="%{userTheme == themeName ? 'red' : 'green'}"/>
<td bgcolor="${currTheme}">Cell content</td>
</tr>
</s:iterator>
Consider using theme-named CSS instead of inline CSS and avoid it completely, roughly:
td.theme1 {
background-color: red;
}
td.theme2 {
background-color: green;
}
td.theme3 {
background-color: #daa520;
}
(Assuming themes named "theme1", "theme2", "theme3", but that's not relevant.)
<table class="themed-table">
<s:iterator value="themes">
<tr>
<td class="${themeName}">Cell content</td>
</tr>
</s:iterator>
</table>
It'd be nicer to move the style info "up" a level, e.g., table.theme1 td
, but you get the idea. Doing so allows a lot of flexibility in where the theme info comes from and so on.

I am trying to compare two values : one from session and anther from iterator
<s:iterator value="themes" status="currentRecord"> <s:if test="%{usertheme}) == %{themeName}"> <td align="center" bgcolor="red"> </s:if> <s:else> <td align="center" bgcolor="green"> </s:else> </s:iterator>
But I am unable to compare my values, please can you tell me where I am doing mistakes ?
