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

I do it this way when there are many points to use...

public enum Status { 

    VALID("valid"), OLD("old");

    private final String val;

    Status(String val) {
        this.val = val;
    }

    public String getStatus() {
        return val;
    }

    public static void setRequestAttributes(HttpServletRequest request) {
        Map vals = new HashMap();
        for (Status val : Status.values()) {
            vals.put(val.name(), val.value);
        }
        request.setAttribute("Status", vals);
    }

}

JSP

<%@ page import="...Status" %>
<% Status.setRequestAttributes(request) %>
