Could anyone tell me why these jstl conditions are failing?

[Alan Smith]

I am testing the functionality of jstl and can't seem to get the if and choose statements to evaluate. On one page all I have is a form using GET, with an input text field with a value of fullName and a submit button. Heres the body section of the jsp for the output page which is forwarded through a servlet:

<p>Hello ${param.fullName}.</p> //this prints

        <c:if test="${param.fullName == 'Alan'}">
                The if test ran! //this doesn't print
        </c:if>    
         
         <c:choose>
            <c:when test="${param.fullName == 'Alan'}">
                The choose test ran! //this doesn't print
            </c:when>
         </c:choose>

For some reason the first line reads when I enter 'Alan' in the input field but the two conditions don't evaluate to true. Any reason why this is happening? The first line is reading ${param.fullName} and returning 'Hello Alan.' in the <p> block. Why aren't the others working?

Thanks,
Alan
