How to check a boolean condition in EL?

by

You can have a look at the EL (expression language) description here.

Both your code are correct, but I prefer the second one, as comparing a boolean to true or false is redundant.

For better readibility, you can also use the not operator:

<c:if test="${not theBooleanVariable}">It's false!</c:if>
