Answer 1

When using a MVC framework I put the following in my controller.

request.setAttribute(RequestParameterNamesEnum.INBOX_ACTION.name(), RequestParameterNamesEnum.INBOX_ACTION.name());

This allows me to use the following in my JSP Page.

It can also be used in your comparison

Which I prefer over putting in a string literal.
