Yes, you are absolutely correct.  I felt that introducing a conditional
expression within EL at this point might be overwhelming.

<input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicYes"
       ${logic3=="yes"? "checked='checked'" : ""} /> Yes
<br />
<input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicNo"
       ${logic3=="no"?  "checked='checked'" : ""} /> No
<br />
<input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicWha"
       ${logic3=="wha"? "checked='checked'" : ""} /> Wha
<br />

untested

I just canceled a message that based part of its background on a whole other
thread.  I made a suggestion to someone recently where they wanted a radio
button preselected based on a previous post.  It used an attribute such as
"hasYes" which is set either to "checked=\"checked\"" or "".  The
corresponding radio button substituted an Expression Language (EL) construct
for that attribute:

 <input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicYes"
        ${hasYes} /> Yes
 <br />
 <input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicNo"
        ${hasNo} />  No
 <br />
 <input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicWha"
        ${hasWha} /> Wha

If I remember EL syntax correctly, you can use a conditional expression:

 <input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicYes"
        ${logic3=="yes"? "checked='checked'" : ""} /> Yes
 <br />
 <input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicNo"
        ${logic3=="no"?  "checked='checked'" : ""} /> No
 <br />
 <input type="radio" name="logic3" id="logicWha"
        ${logic3=="wha"? "checked='checked'" : ""} /> Wha

Untested.  You might have to prefix the 'logic3' request variable with an
implicit scope.  I still look up the details whenever I use EL.

I deliberately left off making the radio prompts into <label>s this time.

Pardon me for butting in, but this thread has already been tainted. It
is really not professional to come with such a comment. Such behavior
ruin an otherwise fantastic forum for both newcomers and professionals.
I am a freshman to these java-groups, but already I get the impression
that Lew is a very competent java programmer that share's his view on
many subjects. If you don't like his answers you are free to look the
other way. I'd say, however, it's a good idea to listen to all opinions
no matter what you think of who's posting it. To throw nasty comments on
someone like you do is simply not acceptable behavior.

To compare Lew, or anyone else, to something that's got to do with
Nazism is just silly. That's nothing anyone here could take seriously.
On a side note, you didn't even manage to write one of two words in
proper German.
