Description Eric Jain 2002-08-09 14:06:30 UTC 
If 'list' is a java.util.ArrayList, shouldn't the variable be cast to an 
integer representing its size in the following expression:

<jstl:if test="${list < 10}">

rather than failing with 'Attempt to coerce a value of 
type "java.util.ArrayList" to type "java.lang.Long"'? Note that the method 
List.size() can't be called,  as list.size is mapped to either List.get("size") 
or List.getSize(), neither of which exist.

That's not a bad idea; in fact, I think it might work.  However, the JSTL 1.0 
specification does call for it, so this is not the right venue to offer the 
suggestion.  If you mail jsr-52-comments@jcp.org, the comment will be recorded 
for future versions of JSTL.

Of course, I meant "does _not_ call for it".  :-)
