Integer division question

2004-09-09 Thread Pierre Scemla
Hi,
I have the following el code in a jsp:
   length=${fn:length(myCollection) / 2}
where length is an attribute of type String (I can't change it to 
Integer, this is an attribute of the Struts's iterate tag).

As fn:length() returns an integer and as 2 is an integer, I was 
expecting that the value for length would be 6 for instance,
but I got 6.0.
Is it an intended feature of the division operator of the jstl/el or is 
it a bug?

Thanks for your answer.
Does anybody know why they chose to do that instead of following the 
behavior of the JLS?
Is there a way to force the conversion to an Integer?
