Thank you for replying, I believe that your idea of using the hashMap is probably the best one. Is it possible for you to provide me some assistance with a sample jsp tag to accomplish this? e.g. lets say that I have a hashMap with rules x, y and z defined (where x, y and z are the keys. Which struts tags allow me to check if a desired rule is defined or not in the hashMap?

Let the table name be the key to the rule. This may or may not be helpful: http://www.javapractices.com/Topic65.cjp.

I was wondering what is the best way to accomplish this? All the rules defined in a collection, and the decision is made on the basis of if a rule is present in the collection or not. The following approach seems messy to me, so i was wondering if anyone can enlighten me with a better way to accomplish this iterate through collection if rule x is present display x table end if end iterate iterate through collection if rule y is present display y table end if end iterate A sample code snippit would be highly apprecated, Thanks for your time.
