What is the correct way of doing conditional output?
This
<h:outputText value="#{payee.discriminatorValue=='P' ? payee.firstName:' '}"/>
works , and yet this
<h:outputText value="#{payee.discriminatorValue=='P' ? ' ':payee.orgRegistrationNumber}"/>
fails with the following parse error :
SEVERE: Error Rendering View[/claimantresult.xhtml]
