           Summary: JSTL automatic type conversion gives unexpected results
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.26
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ekusnitz@allezsoftware.com


I have a bean with a property of type char. If I do a simple test, such as the
following:

<c:if test="${bean.property == 'C'}">

I get this error:
javax.servlet.jsp.el.ELException: An exception occured trying to convert String
"C" to type "java.lang.Long"

I would think it would convert the char to a String, given the testCondition,
not a Long.
There is a workaround -- creating a variable like this:
<c:set var="name" value="${bean.property} " with the extra space and then using
the fn:trim function.
However, I don't believe the automatic conversion should work this way.
