Should I choose == or eq for comparing string in EL?
== and eq give the same result using EL to do my string comparison tests: <c:if test="${person.sokande_i == 'endast_usa'}">Endast USA</c:if> <c:if test="${person.sokande_i == 'alla'}">Alla länder</c:if> <c:if test="${person.sokande_i == 'alla_utom_usa'}">Alla utom USA</c:if> Should I use eq instead? Is == for integers only? But it works also for strings. AFAIK == test whether hashCodes are equal and eq means "meaningfully different". Another question says == and eq do the same thing. Is there no difference here? IS not the difference the one I'm stating: == looks at the hashCode and eq looks
