Ceiling of a number in JSTL/EL

In JSTL,

<fmt:formatNumber value="${1.6}" type="number" pattern="#"/>

returns 2 and the following

<fmt:formatNumber value="${1.4}" type="number" pattern="#"/>

returns1 and I need 2, a ceiling of a number.

Is there a direct way to achieve this in JSTL (or the only way to do so is by using an appropriate custom tag)?
