Re: How to get Type of variable

[Paul Loy]

Try doing a .class?

#foreach($item in $arrayList)
   #set($classType = $item.class)

   #if ($classType == "com.domain.classname")
       do something
   #else
       don't do it!
   #end
#end

(this code isn't tested... just in my head!)

I have a ArrayList which can contain either items of TypeA or TypeB

#foreach($item in $arrayList) #if ($item <isoftype> TypeA)

         Do something
  #else ($item <isoftype> TypeB)
         Do something else
  #end
#end

How do I get the Type of Item in the Arraylist?

Thanks!!
