I am trying to write a condition in JSTL that has multiple operators.

<c:if test="${!memberObj.provider && empty subscriptions or subscriptions eq false}"></c:if>

The above doesn’t execute correctly, because “empty subscriptions or subscriptions eq false” needs to be contained.

I would expect to be able to do:

${!memberObj.provider && (empty subscriptions or subscriptions eq false)}

But the jsp page goes blank when I do that. Which I am guessing means something is off…

How can I combine “and” and “or” operators in a single condition in JSTL?

Thanks in advance!

    This looks valid (albeit a bit clumsy; several styles are mixed and that boolean comparison is unnecessary).

    A browser can go blank when it retrieved invalid HTML. I’d bet that there’s some Java code further down in the code which threw an exception while the response is already committed. As the response is already committed, the server won’t be able to show the error page in its full glory (although it would log the exception). The browser will end up with a halfbaked response with incomplete HTML which the browser can’t interpret in any sensible way, hence it will go blank.
