Question

I need to retrieve values from a map of type Map <String, String> in jsp based on a condition. The condition is to compare map key with variable and if the key equals the variable show the value pertaining to that key. Here’s what I am doing:

<c:if test="${ myMap.key eq myVariable }">
<jsp:getvalueof var="testVariable" value = "${ myMap.value }" />
</c:if>

What I am expecting to get is if the myMap.key equals myVariable, I should get the value pertaining to that key in “test” variable.

But this thing is not working. Please any idea anyone?

Thanks in advance 🙂

You can directly access the map and get the value into a ‘test’ variable:

<c:set var="test" value="${myMap[myVariable]}"/>
