Here is the code:

<h3>before showShipping = [${showShipping}]</h3>
<c:if test="${showShipping eq '5'}">
    <h3>after showShipping = [${showShipping}]</h3> 
</c:if>

And the output is:

before showShipping = [1]
after showShipping = [1]

Why am I seeing the after????

Rightclick page in webbrowser and do *View page source*. Is the `` correctly removed or is it still there? Symptoms suggest that it'll be still there and thus wasn't exeucted, which in turn means that JSTL isn't properly installed/configured/declared. If it's correctly removed, then another probable cause is that the `${showShipping}` isn't a string but a number. – BalusC May 18 '20 at 14:08
The is still in the HTML, so that explains it... now I need to figure out why it is still there, which is a whole other issue! – May 18 '20 at 14:28
Okay. See abovelinked duplicate for the instructions. – BalusC May 18 '20 at 14:32
