<c:if> not working for comparing characters [duplicate]

Question

<c:if> is not working for comparing characters.The code is inside a table.Here is the code

<c:if test="${record.type eq 'U' }">Planned</c:if>

When I use this code inside the table,the table content is not displayed.Please help!

Answer 1

Issue is EL supports both double and single quoted Strings. So 'U' is taken as String, not char. To resolve the issue, you can use charAt(0) method on that String:

<c:if test="${record.type eq 'U'.charAt(0) }">Planned</c:if>
