JSP mod operator not working

Question

I am trying this but its going to else part always

 <c:forEach items="${records}" var="field" varStatus="counter">

    <c:choose>
        <c:when test="${counter.count mod 2 == 0}">
            <div class="classEven">
        </c:when>
        <c:otherwise>
            <div class="classOdd">
        </c:otherwise>
    </c:choose>
        sample text here

        </div>          

 </c:forEach>

What's wrong with this?

Answer 1

You could also use ${counter.count % 2 == 0}
