Newbie questoin : Accessing model from JSP scriptlet

[hermanlam]

Hi all,

I have returned a Hashmap called "map" from my Controller. How do I use JSP scriptlet to access the elements within this variable ?

I have tried using
<%
if ${map.blah} == "hello"{
%>
woohoo
<%}%>

and it doesn't really work....

Thanks for the help in advance!!

not sure if mal.blah should work but try map["blah"] should work.

Why you not use jstl?
Since you are using a map you have two option: key and value

<c:if test="${situacao.key == 'hello'}">
    <div class="error">	
    </div>
</c:if>

Sorry, I've forgot the other example, as Yann Perrin suggested:

<c:if test="${situacao["blah"] == 'hello'}">  

Note: the last one - with key word - , is more used in a loop.
