If I have a class like this:
class Person {
private int age;
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public boolean isAdult() {
return age > 19;
}
}
I can get the age
with EL like this:
${person.age}
But, I cannot figure out how to get the isAdult()
. How can I get this?
Do it like
${person.adult}
It will invoke isAdult()
It works on java bean specifications.
Doing ${person.adult}
should work, unless you are using a very old version of JSP, in which case you may need to change your method name to getAdult()
or even getIsAdult()
.
Essentially this same question was asked (and answered) here: getting boolean properties from objects in jsp el
The JavaBean specification defines isXXX
for boolean getters and getXXX
for other getter, so it should be exactly the same syntax: ${person.adult}
.
try this
class Person {
private int age;
private boolean adult;
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void isAdult() {
adult = (age > 19);
}
}
${person.adult}
