Struts logic tag equals not working

Question

Very quick questions. Could someone explain to me why this code does not work?

<%@ taglib prefix="logic"   uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" %>

<%
    int myValue= 2;
%>

myValue: <%=myValue%>
<br/>
<logic:equal name="myValue" value="2" scope="session">
    logic:equal works!
</logic:equal>

Even if I change myValue to a String is still doesn't work

Quite frustrating, cause I know it's going to be something obvious.

Thanks in advance

Working example!

<%@ taglib prefix="logic" uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" %>

<%
    request.setAttribute("myValue", 2);
%>

myValue - <%=request.getAttribute("myValue")%>]]

<br/>
<logic:equal name="myValue" value="2" scope="request">
    logic:equal works!
</logic:equal>

Solution

<logic:equal name="myValue" value="2" scope="session">

This tag looks for a session attribute named "myValue". Not for a local variable named "myValue".

The real question is: why are you using a tag library which is marked as deprecated in favor of the JSTL, this library being part of a framework which is officially abandoned?

Changed the scope to 'request' but still doesn't work for me.

I specifically am not using a deprecated library in favor of the JSTL, but the company I work for, is. So I go with the tools handed to me.

Changing the scope to request will make it look for a request attribute named "myValue", not for a local variable named "myValue". Your scriptlet code should do: request.setAttribute("myValue", 2). That will create a request attribute named "myValue".

Fantastic, cheers! Edited my original question with the working version.
