Assiging Integer value using JSTL set

I just realize I can't set Integer value using JSTL set tag. I checked other post but didn't find related issue.

My JSTL code looks like

<c:set var="endIndex" 
       value="${fn:length(offeredService) - fn:length(serviceHistory) - 1} lt 0 ? ${fn:length(offeredService)} : ${fn:length(offeredService) - fn:length(serviceHistory) - 1}"/>

And error I am getting is

javax.el.ELException: Cannot convert -1 lt 0 ? 0 : -1 of type class java.lang.String to class java.lang.Integer

Whaat I am missing?

Don't you just need to extend the braces so that the ternary operator actually evaluates?

<c:set var="endIndex" 
    value="${
        (fn:length(offeredService) - fn:length(serviceHistory) - 1) < 0 ? 
        fn:length(offeredService)
        : fn:length(offeredService) - fn:length(serviceHistory) - 1
    }
"/>

As it is, the ternary operator is outside of an execution block so it is just treated like text.
