Question

I am using strut2-JSP to generate a report.In that report I am trying to skip displaying some rows in the table that has a specific “groupName” but need to include the information of that row while calculating the total in the column or in the row. ![My report roughly looks like the table below][1]

Group Name                             |Net Total
Multi_species category               | $300
Multi_species category               | $400
Multi_species category Subtotal | $700

But I have to display it as below:

Group Name                             |Net Total
Multi_species category Subtotal | $700

For example:I am trying to get rid of the row that has group name “Multi_species category” but like to keep the rows (“Multi_species category subTotal”) that calculating totals. Tried with an “if” condition inside the table that did not work . Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Here is my example code to generate this table :

<display:table id="reportTable"
                   name="tableData"
                   requestURI=""
                   cellspacing="0px"
                   export="true"
                   class="displaytagTable">

        <display:setProperty name="decorator.media.pdf"
                             value="expenditures.decorator.ItextTotalSpeciesDecorator"/>


        <c:if test="${ !( groupName == \"Multi_species category\") }">

            <display:column title="Group Name" property="groupName" group="1"/>

            <display:column title="Net Total" property="total" class="alignRight"
                            decorator="expenditures.decorator.DollarDecorator"
                            total="true"/>

        </c:if>

</display:table>

Please let me know if more information is required.
Thanks in advance

Additionally, I am getting error at the line :

<c:if test="${ !( groupName == \"Multi_species category\") }"> 

– how should I compare string here?

I finally resolved this issue by adding a class to every column in that specific row and removed the parent of the columns. here is the link for the example:

Thanks for trying to help me though.
