Define variables inside if condition in JSP

I am passing a value from a servlet to JSP using follows, which returns Integer value.

HttpSession session = request.getSession();
session.setAttribute(USER_OFFICE, user.getOffice().getId());

I can get this value in JSP:

<%=session.getAttribute("USER_OFFICE")%>

Now I need to show some text in JSP based on USER_OFFICE values:

• "Hello Police" - if USER_OFFICE value is 1
• "Hello Doctor" - if USER_OFFICE value is 2
• "Hello Engineer" - if USER_OFFICE value is 3

Try EL & taglib:

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<c:choose>
    <c:when test="${1 eq USER_OFFICE}">
       Hello Police
    </c:when>
    <c:when test="${2 eq USER_OFFICE}">
        Hello Doctor
    </c:when>
    <c:otherwise>
        Hello Engineer
    </c:otherwise>
</c:choose>

OR without taglib:

${1 eq USER_OFFICE ? "Hello Police" : (2 eq USER_OFFICE ? "Hello Doctor" : "Hello Engineer")}
