set boolean value into variable using JSTL tags?

Question

I am using JSTL tags. i have below code.

<c:set var="refreshSent" value="false"/>

Now variable refreshSent has boolean value or String?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It is going to be a boolean. You can check it by comparing in a

<c:if test="${refreshSent eq false}">

and

<c:if test="${refreshSent eq 'false'}">

The second is a string comparison.
