I have a condition where I have an enrollment form in which if userid is 0 it should show the dummy image and when I edit user from any update, I check for if userid which is not equal to 0 then display the image corresponding to userid.
I used JSTL inside jsf page. But always it tries to go to else loop for showing image. The functionality is working fine. The only thing is I can't display the dummy image when I visit the page first. Here s my code.:
<c:if test="${'#{user.userId}' == '0'}">
<a href="Images/thumb_02.jpg" target="_blank" ></a>
<img src="Images/thumb_02.jpg" />
</c:if>
<c:otherwise>
<a href="/DisplayBlobExample?userId=#{user.userId}" target="_blank"</a>
<img src="/DisplayBlobExample?userId=#{user.userId}" />
</c:otherwise>
Can I use this JSTL tag or can I do it using jsf?

For those like I who just followed the code by skuntsel and received a cryptic stack trace, allow me to save you some time.
It seems c:if cannot by itself be followed by c:otherwise.
The correct solution is as follows:
<c:choose>
<c:when test="#{some.test}">
<p>some.test is true</p>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<p>some.test is not true</p>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
You can add additional c:when tests in as necessary.

It is illegal to nest EL expressions: you should inline them. Using JSTL is perfectly valid in your situation. Correcting the mistake, you'll make the code working:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core">
<c:if test="#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0}">
<a href="Images/thumb_02.jpg" target="_blank" ></a>
<img src="Images/thumb_02.jpg" />
</c:if>
<c:if test="#{empty user or user.userId eq 0}">
<a href="/DisplayBlobExample?userId=#{user.userId}" target="_blank"></a>
<img src="/DisplayBlobExample?userId=#{user.userId}" />
</c:if>
</html>
Another solution is to specify all the conditions you want inside an EL of one element. Though it could be heavier and less readable, here it is:
<a href="#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0 ? '/Images/thumb_02.jpg' : '/DisplayBlobExample?userId='}#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0 ? '' : user.userId}" target="_blank"></a>
<img src="#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0 ? '/Images/thumb_02.jpg' : '/DisplayBlobExample?userId='}#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0 ? '' : user.userId}" target="_blank"></img>
Instead of using the "c" tags, you could also do the following:
<h:outputLink value="Images/thumb_02.jpg" target="_blank" rendered="#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0}" />
<h:graphicImage value="Images/thumb_02.jpg" rendered="#{not empty user or user.userId eq 0}" />
<h:outputLink value="/DisplayBlobExample?userId=#{user.userId}" target="_blank" rendered="#{not empty user and user.userId neq 0}" />
<h:graphicImage value="/DisplayBlobExample?userId=#{user.userId}" rendered="#{not empty user and user.userId neq 0}"/>
I think that's a little more readable alternative to skuntsel's alternative answer and is utilizing the JSF rendered attribute instead of nesting a ternary operator. And off the answer, did you possibly mean to put your image in between the anchor tags so the image is clickable?
