title: EL expression in js function on jsp page
body: <p>Can I use el expressions in js functions that are on jsp page?
  I have tried to do so, but the jsp compiler was always complaining that <code>==</code> symbol is not allowed here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function somefunction() {
    var booleanExpression = '${myBean.a == -1}';
    ....
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>myBean</code> is a request scope attribute that has an integer property <code>a</code>. I also have tried to use <code>eq</code> instead of <code>==</code>, but the error remains the same and that is weird.</p>
  
  <p>I want my <code>boleanExpression</code> to be <code>true</code> or <code>false</code> in result.</p>
