           Summary: JSTL converts BigDecimal to Long
           Product: Taglibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Standard Taglib

<c:if test="{foo==0}">
   do something
</c:if>
If foo is a BigDecimal,JSTL converts its type to Long,which means if foo is in
the range [0,1), for example,0.01,it always return true! That is not correct.

I checked SUN's JSP2.0 specification,in the JSP.2.3.5.7 section. It says:
 A {==,!=,eq,ne} B
• If A==B, apply operator
• If A is null or B is null return false for == or eq, true for != or ne.
• If A or B is BigDecimal, coerce both A and B to BigDecimal and then:

 If operator is == or eq, return A.equals( B )

 If operator is != or ne, return !A.equals( B )
• If A or B is Float or Double coerce both A and B to Double, apply operator
• If A or B is BigInteger, coerce both A and B to BigInteger and then:

 If operator is == or eq, return A.equals( B )

 If operator is != or ne, return !A.equals( B )
• If A or B is Byte, Short, Character, Integer, or Long coerce both A and B to
Long, apply operator
• If A or B is Boolean coerce both A and B to Boolean, apply operator
• If A or B is String coerce both A and B to String, compare lexically
• Otherwise if an error occurs while calling A.equals(B), error
• Otherwise, apply operator to result of A.equals(B)

According to the third rule,it seems like no problem.

but when I checked apache's implementation of JSTL, in the class 
org.apache.taglibs.standard.lang.jstl.Coercions,I found apache didn't implement
the third specification.so the preceding example will be processed according to
this rule:
If A or B is Byte, Short, Character, Integer, or Long coerce both A and B to
Long, apply operator

that is, it will convert BigDecimal to Long!

so, is this a bug or something?

looking forward to your answering.Thanks!
