Thank you for the reply. Using, for example, <logic:equal> seems to solve only half the problem. Using <logic:equal>, I can see my way clear to
<logic:equal name="feature" property="premium" value="true"> <td>True</a> </logic:equal> <logic:notEqual name="feature" property="premium" value="true"> <td>True</a> </logic:notEqual> which gives a crude if/else effect, but this is almost surely ill advised. I think the same would apply to <c:if>, as I know of no "else" construct that goes with either. One could also perhaps use <c:choose> <c:when> ... </c:when> <c:otherwise> ... </c:otherwise> </c:choose> which looks a bit better. Thanks.
