The <c:choose> works like a Java switch statement in that it lets you choose between a number of alternatives. Where the switch statement has case statements, the <c:choose> tag has <c:when> tags.

      <title><c:choose> Tag Example</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <c:set var = "salary" scope = "session" value = "${2000*2}"/>
      <p>Your salary is : <c:out value = "${salary}"/></p>
      <c:choose>
         <c:when test = "${salary <= 0}">
            Salary is very low to survive.
         </c:when>
         <c:when test = "${salary > 1000}">
            Salary is very good.
         </c:when>
         <c:otherwise>
            No comment sir...
         </c:otherwise>
      </c:choose>
   </body>
</html>

The above code will generate the following result −

Your salary is : 4000
