As stated before, it was just a simplified example. > If it really is a problem then did you try and create a new getter method > that returns your to string content in the enum? And then call that with > c:out. The enum is part of a 3rd party lib. And of course, there are several workarounds available, but I want to understand what is happening here and clearify if it's a bug. And it's not just the c:out tag - it also happens with other Tags. For demonstration I've created a custom Tag: public class MyCustomTag implements Tag { public void setValue(String value) { System.out.println(value); } @Override public void setPageContext(PageContext pc) { } @Override public void setParent(Tag t) { } @Override public Tag getParent() { return null; } @Override public int doStartTag() throws JspException { return SKIP_BODY; } @Override public int doEndTag() throws JspException { return EVAL_PAGE; } @Override public void release() { } } My TLD: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <taglib xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee web- jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.1"> <tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion> <uri>http://my-domain.org/customLib</uri> <tag> <name>customTag</name> <tagclass>mypackage.MyCustomTag</tagclass> <bodycontent>empty</bodycontent> <attribute> <name>value</name> <required>true</required> <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue> </attribute> </tag> </taglib> And in my JSP file is use it: <%...@taglib prefix="myLib" uri="http://my-domain.org/customLib"%> <myLib:customTag value="${myEnum}"/> <myLib:customTag value="foo.${myEnum}.bar"/> I would expect, that this outputs: VALID foo.VALID.bar The output in catalina.out is very interesting: VALID foo.VALID result, code 0.bar Remember, VALID is the enum name() and "VALID result, code 0" is the enum toString(). I think that is REALLY weird...
