- Arithmetic: +, - (binary), *, / and div, % and mod, - (unary)
- Logical: and, &&, or, ||, not, !
- Relational: ==, eq, !=, ne, <, lt, >, gt, <=, ge, >=, le.
Comparisons can be made against other values, or against boolean, string, integer, or floating point literals. - Empty: The empty operator is a prefix operation that can be used to determine whether a value is null or empty.
- .after, .before, .equal: Date comparison operators.
The precedence of operators highest to lowest, left to right is as follows:
[] .
() - Used to change the precedence of operators.
- (unary) not ! empty

Literals
The JSP expression language defines the following literals:
Boolean: true and false. For example, ${entity.critical == true}, where entity is a task
String: with single and double quotes; " is escaped as \", ' is escaped as \', and \ is escaped as \\.
Null: null
