You guys

Try to explain this impossibility: http://i.xomf.com/gszrg.png

(For those without image support:

<c:if test="${t.dataMode.toString().equals('TweetWithUser')}">
                        <h:outputText value="frefefrefrevrev" />
                        <h:link value="#{t.userText}" outcome="index?userid=#{t.userId}" />
                        <br />
                        <h:outputText value="#{t.tweetText}" />
                        <br />
                        <h:outputText value="#{t.dateText}" />
                    </c:if>
                    <c:if test="${'TweetWithUser'.equals('TweetWithUser')}">
                        <h:outputText value="OFCOURSE IT IS" />
                    </c:if>
                    <h:outputText value="#{t.dataMode.toString()}" />

The first if block does not execute, even though the second one does and the outputText has a value of 'TweetWithUser'.)

I've pretty much given up on trying to understand Java Server Faces at this point.
