comparing string to int in JSTL

[mark hunt]

Hello,

I'm trying to compare two values with different type (String, int). Using scriplets, i would just covert one datatype to another and then compare them. How would i convert one to another in JSTL?. This is what i'm doing and it's not working (it never returns true):

<c:when test="{param.divisionMenu eq divisionModel.divisionId}">    

divisionModel.divisionId is of type int. I tried using "==" operator as well but didn't work. Could someone please let me know what i'm doing wrong??. Thanks for your time and suggestion

Technically you are not comparing in the JSTL but the EL.

Check the EL section of the JSP Spec to see what conversions occur during comparisons.

Thanks Bear. Problem solved.

<c:when test="${divisionModel.divisionId == param.divisionMenu}">
