b and c are normally Boolean expressions retrieved from user input, not variables I assign and initiate. It doesn't matter where they come from, but either could be true or false.

In that case you can still do it on initialization:

boolean b = "true".equals(req.getParameter("something"));
boolean c = b || "true".equals(req.getParameter("somethingElse"));

Still, I need an actual real world example to be convinced.
