Access Enum value using EL with JSTL

Question

I have an Enum called Status defined as such: ``` public enum Status { VALID("valid"), OLD("old"); private final String val; Status(String val) { this.val = val; } public String getStatus() { return val; } } ``` I would like to access the value of `VALID` from a JSTL tag. Specifically the `test` attribute of the `` tag. E.g. ``` ``` I'm not sure if this is possible.

Accepted Answer

A simple comparison against string works:

```
<c:when test="${someModel.status == 'OLD'}">
```
