I'm approving of Struts 2 and encourage its use, but I have 1 main complaint: OGNL. Here's an example.
Context: <s:iterator var="reviewer" // value is a List of a domain object #reviewer.reviewerStatus // equals "R" <s:set var="isAdmin" value="true" /> When I do this: <s:if test='#reviewer.reviewerStatus == "R"'> I get into the if condition. This is good. When I do this: <s:if test='isAdmin'> I get into the if condition. This is also good. When I do this: <s:if test='isAdmin && #reviewer.reviewerStatus == "R"'> I DO NOT get into the if condition. I also tried: <s:if test='isAdmin=="true" && #reviewer.reviewerStatus == "R"'> <s:if test='isAdmin==true && #reviewer.reviewerStatus == "R"'> <s:if test='isAdmin and #reviewer.reviewerStatus == "R"'> reordering the variables around && using equals() None work. So I go to the OGNL website to make sure I'm doing this right and I get a 404 when I try to get the language guide: "The requested URL /proper/commons-lang/uage-guide.html was not found on this server." My feeling is that OGNL has always been the ugly step sister in Struts 2. It feels like OGNL, as a framework, has been a hot potato and nobody really WANTS to maintain it and grow it into the powerful utility it could be. Any time I have ever wasted time trying to do something that should be simple, I can usually point back to OGNL as the culprit. </my opinion></minor rant> Anyway, any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
