jsp:useBean with possibly omitted beans.

D

Daniel Pitts

Hello everyone.
Some background: I'm using Spring 1.2.8 and Tiles. This gives me the
ability to create a model in Java code, and "pass" that model to the
JSP in request scope.

I'd like to use <jsp:useBean id="someBean" scope="request"
type="my.bean.SomeBeanType" />. This gives my tools (IntelliJ Idea in
this case) the ability to verify, validate, and suggest. This works
in most cases.

Where this does not work is in the optional bean case. If I only put
someBean into my model under certain circumstances, <jsp:useBean> will
try to instantiate a SomeBeanType and put it in the request scope.
I'd like to actually create a null reference instead, or leave it
undefined. Is there any way to do this without wrapping all the code
with an <c:if> element?
