JSTL tags for testing OR conditions

Question

Suppose I want to display a table in my JSP if either of two conditions exists. Obviously I don't want to display the table twice. I could do it this way.
<logic:equal name="condition1"      property="prop1" value="12">
[[construct my table here]]
</logic:equal>
<logic:notEqual name="condition1"      property="prop1" value="12">
     <logic:equal name="condition2"      property="prop2" value="1">
[[construct my table a second time here]]
</logic:equal>
</logic:notEqual>
The problem here is that I am constructing my table twice....I have to repeat all of the logic to construct the table two times w/in the JSP.
Any way to do this other than
1) doing the table in an include and including it from multiple locations--I want to do this type thing many times w/in a JSP, but don't really want many includes....that's not very manageable.
2) Creating a single condition representing (condition1||condition2) in the code and passing it to the JSP. Same reasoning applies---seems complicated to create a bunch of conditions in the code, especially if I want to do this several times in one JSP, for several different sets of conditions.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Thanks for any thoughts on this.well in JSTL it would be much simple by using EL in place.
<c:choose>
   <c:when test="${requestScope.condition1.prop1 != '12' ||  requestScope.condition1.prop2 == '1' }">
   </c:when>
   <c:otherwise>
   </c:otherwise>
</c:choose>Hope that might help :)
