This general approach would work, but if you can use JSTL, it could be
written much cleaner as:
<c:set var="isReadOnly"><c:out value="${editable}" default="true"/></c:set>
...
<html-el:text property="foo" readonly="${isReadOnly}"/>
You may be able to get away with not even having the <c:set> statement
and using just ${editable}

so supposing your url has something like this
http://foo.com/bar.do?editable=true
Then you could have in your JSP
<logic:present parameter="editable">
<logic:equal parameter="editable" value="true">
<bean:define id="isReadOnly" scope="page">false</bean:define>
</logic:equal>
<logic:notEqual>
<bean:define id="isReadOnly" scope="page">true</bean:define>
</logic:notEqual>
</logic:present>
<logic:notPresent parameter="editable">
<bean:define id="isReadOnly" scope="page">true</bean:define>
</logic:notPresent>
So now your text box would have
<html:text property="foo" readonly='<%=new
Boolean(pageContext.getAttribute("isReadOnly").toString()).booleanValue()%>'
/>
I know this is unclean but just doing bean write instead of the scriptlet
thing didnt work for me. You could probably clean up the logic tags also.
But i havent ever done JSTL so...
thanks in advance for any thoughts or ideas.
