Struts : resource messages from el in jsp

Question

Hi all,
is there a way to access the resource messages directly from el, like within the test attribute of tag c:when
At the present i have to create a var using core tag library like this :
<c:set var="addAction">
<bean:message key="button.add"/>
</c:set>and then use the var
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${myFormBean.action==addAction}">
action1
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
action2
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>

For some strange reason, you cannot call the method close() on a non-existant database handle. For example...
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection( url, username, password );
conn = null;
conn.close();will result in a null pointer error. Sometimes if you attempt to create a connection and you don't get one, conn will be null anyway rather than returning a specific error message.
As a general rule of thumb, it's always a good idea to...
public void closeSession( Connection conn ) {
   if ( conn != null ) {
      conn.close();
}or even...
try {
   conn.close();
} catch ( Exception e ) { }Because if the connection no longer exists, then it serves the same practical purpose as closing the connection as far as your program is concerned.
