How do i set a boolean transient variable

im using a transient variable as below:
private transient boolean vaultallowedccterm=false;

im setting it in my java code as below:
if(terminalDto.isCCTerminal()){
terminalDto.vaultallowedccterm(true); <<<<---- is this right way to set a transient boolean variable?????
}

im using it my JSP code to test a condition as below :
<c:if test="${terminal.vaultallowedccterm=='true'}"></c:if>

terminalDto.vaultallowedccterm(true);  <<<<---- is this right way to set a transient boolean variable?????

Open in new window

No. It would be

terminalDto.vaultallowedccterm = true;

Open in new window

Without seeing the code of terminalDto, we have to guess. Maybe use
terminalDto.setVaultallowedccterm(true);

My code will of course only work where the private scope is not a problem. Otherwise, it should have a normal mutator (which should be used) and accessor

TerminalDTO is just a data transfer object. I has variables declared and respective getters and setters for it.
public class TerminalDTO{
private transient boolean vaultallowedccterm = false;

//how to declare the getter setter for the above property ????
}

im not able how to figure out how to get the value of it in EL?
${terminal.vaultallowedccterm == 'true'}

how to declare the getter setter for the above property ????

Same as any other bean property

    public boolean getVaultallowedccterm() {
        return this.vaultallowedccterm;
    }

    public void setVaultallowedccterm(boolean vaultallowedccterm) {
        this.vaultallowedccterm = vaultallowedccterm;
    }

Open in new window

but you'd do better to ensure that your variable names are in camel case (beginning lower case)

Please try using
<c:if test="${terminal.vaultallowedccterm}">

The variable can be accessed the same as any other variable you declare and is restricted by normal scoping rules. Hence, a private variable is only accessible internally to the class that declares it while a public one (BAD idea) is accessible to anyone. The 'transient' keyword indicates to Java that the variable should not be serialized when using Java's built-in Serialization mechanisms.
