Eliminate conditions in JSP

Nov 15th, 2007

I have a Servlet that checks for information and if there is an issue it forwards the message to presentation page (JSP). Now I want to stop using conditions in scriptlets in the JSP. Please advise how I can do it in this situation in my Tomcat 4.1.27 container. I dont have JSTL or EL due to restrictions in my environment.

Servlet that forwards to JSP:

String gotopage = "";
if(mydata == 1)
{
     gotopage = /"pager.jsp?mymessage=err";
}
else if(mydata == 34
{
   gotopage = /"pager.jsp?mymessage=duper";
}
else
{
    gotopage = /"pager.jsp?mymessage=proc";
}


RequestDispatcher dispatcher = 
  getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(gotopage);	
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
