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 va         


        

Answer 1

<%@ page import="com.example.Status" %>

1. ${dp.status eq Title.VALID.getStatus()}
2. ${dp.status eq Title.VALID}
3. ${dp.status eq Title.VALID.toString()}

• Put the import at the top, in JSP page header
• If you want to work with getStatus method, use #1
• If you want to work with the enum element itself, use either #2 or #3
• You can use == instead of eq
