Following on from my posts earlier (sorry it ended up going twice or 
whatever, sendmail was lieing to me), I'm wondering if I can do:

<c:set var="searchType" value="${Integer.class" scope="session/>

<c:if test="${session.searchType == Integer.class">

</c:if>

but I'm rather thinking I can't. Can anyone confirm this, and suggest another 
way?

Cheers


John

Yes, that was what I was asking. I don't like storing Strings, I'd much 
prefer a Class if it makes sense (program wise ;-).

I'm not sure what you're asking, exactly.  ${Integer.class} is a perfectly
valid expression, but it means "the 'class' property of the scoped
variable named 'Integer'".  It doesn't mean "the result of the getClass()
method for the class Integer", if that's what you're asking.

If you had an individual Integer I, then ${I.class} would correspond to
the Class object for Integer.
