[s2] If Test Conditions

[Hoying, Ken]

I am having a devil of a time getting a simple if test condition to work
properly.  

Here is the jist of what I am trying to do:

<display:table id="idContract" name="contracts" class="results">
        <display:column         titleKey="label.select">
                <s:if test="${idContract.status}=='NEW'">
                        <s:checkbox name="selectedContracts"
fieldValue="${idContract.id}"/>
                </s:if>
                <s:else>
                        &nbsp;${idContract.status}&nbsp;
                </s:else>
        </display:column>
        <display:column         property="number"
titleKey="label.contractNumber" />
        <display:column         property="status"
titleKey="label.contractStatus" />
        <display:column         property="numAuthFacilities"
titleKey="label.authFacilities" />
</display:table>

I have tried the following and do not seem to be able to get any of them
to work:
"${idContract.status}=='NEW'"
'${idContract.status}=="NEW"'
"%{idContract.status}=='NEW'"
"${idContract.status=='NEW'}"
"%{idContract.status=='NEW'}"
"idContract.status=='NEW'"
"#idContract.status=='NEW'"

And a host of others that I cannot recall.

Does anyone happen to know the correct syntax?  I am getting tired of
guessing and cannot seem to make rhyme or reason out of the syntax rules
:-)

Thanks in advance!
