I have the following block in my JSP, which converts from ENUM values {CREATE, CREATE_FROM_CAMPAIGN, OPEN}
into nice, readable status texts.
For some reason the first test against 'CREATE'
works, but the test against the 'CREATE_FROM_CAMPAIGN'
does not.
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${entry.activity eq 'CREATE'}">
<td>was created</td>
</c:when>
<c:when test="$(entry.activity eq 'CREATE_FROM_CAMPAIGN'}">
<td>was created from campaign</td>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<td>was opened (${entry.activity}) </td>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
One output from this one is as follows:
was opened (CREATE_FROM_CAMPAIGN)
was opened (OPEN)
Why does the second test not work?
It does not work because you used $(
instead of ${
to start the expression.
Fix it accordingly:
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${entry.activity eq 'CREATE'}">
<td>was created</td>
</c:when>
<c:when test="${entry.activity eq 'CREATE_FROM_CAMPAIGN'}">
<td>was created from campaign</td>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<td>was opened (${entry.activity}) </td>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
