JSP anyone?

Idgeitman

Hey,

Trying to compare two variables and if they don't match forward to a different page, any ideas anyone?

<% String pass1 = request.getParameter("password"); %>
<% String pass2 = request.getParameter("passwordconfirm"); %>

<% if(pass1 != pass2) {%>
<jsp:forward page = "invalid.jsp"/>
<% } %>

Thanks!

Giblet

use
if(!pass1.equals(pass2))

Use the jstl if tag...

Yes, I'd recommend using a tag library, it's much cleaner.

+1 for JSTL
makes the code so readable, its not even funny.

<c:if test="${param.pass1 ne param.password1}">
<jsp:forward page="/invalid.jsp">
</c:if>

EL is nice and clean too

although Im still f€ckin struggling with lists and iterators in JSTL..

Ah lists are easy, post up a topic if ya need help, i've done loads with it. JSTL has a for each

also:

<c:redirect url="blah.jsp">
<c:param name="myparam" value="${var}"/>
</c:redirect>
