Radiobutton with multiple conditions

[Bjorn121]

I have a question concerning the form-tag. I have a few radio buttons and I want one to be checked. The problem is that value isn't enough, because 1 radio button must be checked when there 2 conditions are met.

1 radiobutton must be selected when the value is equal to a certain value and a boolean in the pageScope is true.

Is there a way to do this?

Something like this:

<form:radiobutton disabled="true" path="known" value="??? || ???" />

I think you can't do it with in the <form:radiobutton /> tag.

you will have to set the value for the property known in your formBackingObject method.

lets say you have the following in your view.

<form:radiobutton disabled="true" path="known" value="foo" />

to make the radio button appear as selected what you have to do is

yourCommandObject.setKnown("foo");

in your formBackingObject method.

so when the property known has the value "foo" it will automatically be selected in your view.

hope this helps you

Bleh, I was hoping for a different solution. I'll have to try another solution for this.

well there's another way of doing it. It's without the <form:radiobutton> tag, by using <spring:bind> tag

<spring:bind path="known">
     <input name="${status.expression}" type="radio" value="foo"  <c:if test="${status.value == 'foo'}"> selected</c:if> >
</spring:bind>

since you want to check for some other conditions you can try something like:

<spring:bind path="known">
     <c:if test="${status.value=='foo' && myBoolean }">
          <c:set var="selected" value="true"/>
     </c:if>

     <input name="${status.expression}" type="radio" value="foo"  <c:if test="${selected}"> checked</c:if> >
</spring:bind>

hope this might help you
