There are several reasons for this: - There is no provision in the EL spec for enum to enum type conversion via a string value - If both A B are enums, should both values be coerced to enum A or enum B? One may work whilst the other fails. If the spec permitted this then the behaviour in this case would need to be defined. It isn't. - Section 1.17 is clear the String values must be used to trigger enum type conversion Like the original creator of this post, I have a series of enums of different types that implement a common interface.

A.test==B.test throws the exception. couldn't it just return false?

Thank you for your quick reply.
The spec says that If A or B is an enum, coerce both A and B to enum, apply
operator.
Does't it simply mean that both A and B must be coercible to enums. instead
of if A is an enum then B must be an enum of type A, or vice versa.
in the coerceToEnum method I would return the object if it is an enum
(whatever its type is):
public final static Enum? coerceToEnum(final Object obj, Class type) {
if (obj == null || .equals(obj)) {
return null;
}
if(obj.getClass().isEnum()){
return (Enum?)obj;
}
...
}
Like the original creator of this post, I have a series of enums of
different types that implement a common interface. I need to be able to
compare them and I don't want to have to translate them to Strings.

Have you read to EL specification to see what the correct behaviour should be? Have you looked at the changelog to see if there are any changes between 6.0.20 and 6.0.26 that might apply (Hint: EL related changes will be in the Jasper sections)? This is *open* source. Have you looked at the svn commit messages to see if there are any relevant changes? (Hint: tomcat.markmail.org ha a nice UI that makes this fairly easy.

Yes, it is stronger.
In my case i try to compare two different enums: DocboxListColumn and
GenericListColumn, but they both implement interface ListColumn.
The chapter 1.8.2 of the EL spec (jsp-2_1-fr-spec-el.pdf) says that
equals operator is applied as follows:
If A or B is an enum, coerce both A and B to enum, apply operatorr
BTW, if you really need to compare apples with oranges, you can
convert one of them or both to strings. There is no string concat
operator in EL, but there is support for Composite expressions,
such as “${firstName} ${lastName}”

Strange difference in behavior ELSupport in Tomcat 6.0.20 and Tomcat 6.0.26
Hi, I have a problem that i don't understand and i hope you can help me with. I migrate from Tomcat 6.0.20 to Tomcat 6.0.26 and suddenly i get an exception like this: 05-Jul-2010 16:22:50 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception javax.el.ELException: Cannot convert CREATION_TIME of type class com.docbox.tag.DocboxListColumn to class com.owt.tag.ListContent.GenericListColumn at org.apache.el.lang.ELSupport.coerceToEnum(ELSupport.java:155) at org.apache.el.lang.ELSupport.equals(ELSupport.java:110) at org.apache.el.parser.AstNotEqual.getValue(AstNotEqual.java:39) at org.apache.el.ValueExpressionImpl.getValue(ValueExpressionImpl.java:186) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.proprietaryEvaluate(PageContextImpl.java:935) at org.apache.jsp.owt.list_005fcontent_jsp._jspx_meth_c_005fwhen_005f1(list_005fcontent_jsp.java:876) at org.apache.jsp.owt.list_005fcontent_jsp._jspx_meth_c_005fchoose_005f1(list_005fcontent_jsp.java:846) at org.apache.jsp.owt.list_005fcontent_jsp._jspService(list_005fcontent_jsp.java:282) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:70) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) etc etc...
