title: EL expression not being evaluated inside <c:if> tag
body: <p>I have difficulty evaluating <code>mod</code> expressions in <code>&lt;c:if&gt;</code> statement.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;af:forEach begin="0" end="2" step="1" var="col" varStatus="columnStatus"&gt;
  
      &lt;c:set var="colIndex" value="${columnStatus.index}" scope="page" /&gt;

                      value="#{pageFlowScope.SkillsMatcherBean.candidateList}"

                  &lt;/c:if&gt;
              &lt;/af:iterator&gt;

      &lt;/trh:cellFormat&gt;
  &lt;/af:forEach&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have two iterator loops with the outer-loop <code>varStatus</code> variable as <code>"columnStatus"</code> and inner loop <code>varStatus</code> variable as <code>"rowStatus"</code>.</p>
  
  <p><code>columnStatus</code> spans from 0 - 2
  <br><code>rowStatus</code> spans from 1 - 18</p>
  
  <p>In the above expression, <code>rowStatus.index mod 3</code> always evaluates to <code>0</code>. I have tried with <code>%</code> and <code>mod</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am using <code>Jdev 11.1.1.6</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know how I can achieve this.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
