Sure there is  You can for example use the conditional expressions  For example    lt span th text    someObject someProperty    null      someObject someProperty     null value    gt someValue lt  span gt    You can even omit the  else  expression    lt span th text    someObject someProperty    null      someObject someProperty   gt someValue lt  span gt    You can also take a look at the Elvis operator to display default values
