title: JSTL conditional check
body: <p>On my current page I am using JSTL to check if data is available for my form. Problem I am facing is "if there is no data I am not seeing the text fields either". I can solve it using  and  tags but that would entail lot of if else if else kind of code all through the page. Can anyone suggest me a better cleaner solution to this problem?<br/></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;c:if test="${salesData!=null}"&gt;
    &lt;c:if test="${fn:length(salesBundle.salesArea) &gt; 0}"&gt;
    &lt;input type="text" id="sales_area" class="salesManagerStyle"&gt;
    &lt;/c:if&gt;
  &lt;/c:if&gt;
  </code></pre>
