char comparison in EL expression
char, comparison, el, java, jsp
Solution
EL seems to have trouble with char. Here is the only way I could make it work.
<c:if test="${somestring.charAt(0) == '1'.charAt(0)}" >
tadaaaam
</c:if>
Problem
I want to do something like this: ``` <c:if test="${somestring.charAt(0)=='1'}"> tadaaaam </c:if> ``` when somestring is "11011" but it doesn't work. I can print it with ``` ${somestring.charAt(0)} ``` and it is '1' but comparison above fails. The following comparison: ``` if(somestring.charAt(0)=='1') ``` worx (condition is true) in pure Java. Any ideas?
