I have come across with a rather erratic behavior of PageLink class
setParameters(Map) method - possible bug, or I do something wrong.
Anyway, having created an ArrayList of PageLink I started to populate the list
with a for-loop. Upon creating a PageLink objects I set their parameters with
the setParameters(Map) method (argument is a TreeMap<String, String>). This is
all fine, but if I want to add another parameter for the very same PageLink
object (in my case it is the for-counter int) then it always puts the last
counter int value!
Example:
for (int i=0; i<6; i++){list.add(new PageLink("somenames",
MyClass.home);list.get(i).setParameters(paramMap);list.get(i).setParameter("counter",
string.valueOf(i));
}
You would expect the link "counter" parameter to be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,and for the
fifth link is 5. In my case it is all 5. The other parameters being passed to
the new links from the TreeMap<String, String> are all fine.
If I don't add the parameter Map to the new PageLink objects then the "counter"
parameters are fine, they are coming up ok, the first link with 0 and so on.
Funnily enough if the new PageLinks are initialized as:
list.add(new PageLink(string.valueOf(i), MyClass.home);
...then the link name will be the counter int, but if I add the paramMap and
then the "counter" parameter, then the counter parameter stays 5 at each link -
despite their anchor will be 0, 1, 2 etc...
Last but not least, if I add the "counter" parameter to the paramMap within the
loop before adding it to the new PageLink objects the "counter" value will be
all 5!
Well this is it...
