Test a condition on a Map element being iterated in Struts JSP

I am new to struts, and am using (have to stay with it) Struts 1.x.
The map is already being iterated over, I just need to add a
<c:if> tag to check if the property of map, let's say map.isGood = true.
I did:
<c:if test=${map.isGood}> <!--do stuff--> </c:if>
But it threw an exception. This is how the map is defined:
<logic:iterate id="fullMap" name="fullMap" scope="request">
<bean:define id="map" name="map" scope="page" toScope="request" />
How can I do what I want, can anyone please help?
Edit:
The fullMap is a map of maps. Key is string and value is another map.
The map is a simple HashMap<String, String>.

I thought that the map variable had the value (As per my little understanding of Struts), but it is not. It's just an entry. I had to do:
map.value['isGood'] and it worked as expected.

Not able to start the ATG server

I am getting this error while server restart.Please help me out.This is first time I am getting this error. I dont find any compile time errors also.

This exception thrown when index l in string.substring(l) is greater than string length.
String string ="";
string.substring( 1 );
this code will throw
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1918)
So may be you are trying to get a part from incoming empty string.

Thanks for patience. plz tell me what could be the possible cause of this. i have checked my faces.config and beans and the jsp page etc. every thing is well bind. And the fact that it was working just fine and all of a sudden this error generated is weird and spooky.
Thanks in advance. Plz answer before closing the question or yelling at me for being so naive.

This is a typical problem deploying applicaitons in eclipse and tomcat.
As shazin said you can do Project-Clean Maven clean etc..
This should be enough, but in my case, sometimes this doesn't solve the problem.
If it doesn't work try to go to SERVER tab, right click on the tomcat server and do a "Clean". Tomcat will publish the projects again.

Do a Project -> Clean and if you are using Maven do a Maven Clean also.
