The problem is in your if statement
"if ( _c0 == _x0 )"
You have defined the variables "_c0" and "_x0" to be Java String objects, so
the if statement is comparing to see if these two OBJECTS are one and the
same OBJECT (i.e., are they pointing to the same object?), as opposed to
whether or not the String 'values' these objects hold are equivalent.
To see if the String objects have the same string 'values', you can use the
equals method:
"if ( _c0.equals(_x0) )"
if you don't care about case, you can use the 'equalsIgnoreCase()' method
instead.

Subject: Scriptlet for loop and if statement.
Hi All,
I am using a DataBase Bean to gather data to populate a list box. I
can't seem to get an "if" statement inside of a "for" loop to work. I
know that I have conditions that meet the "if" criteria, but nothing
ever get loaded in my OPTION tag. However, if I remove the "if"
condition, the box loads great.
Hear is the code snippet:
<%
try {
java.lang.String _p0 = CN31CiDBBean.getCITY_CODE(0); // throws an
exception if empty.
java.lang.String _c0 = CN31CiDBBean.getCOUNTRY_CODE(0); // throws an
exception if empty.
java.lang.String _x0 = CN31CiDBBean.getO_COUNTRY_CODE(); // throws an
exception if empty.
%><SELECT name="O_CITY_CODE" size="1"><%
for (int _i0 = 0; ; ) {
if ( _c0 == _x0 ) { %>
<OPTION value="<%= _p0 %>"><%= _p0 %></OPTION><%
}
_i0++;
try {
_p0 = CN31CiDBBean.getCITY_CODE(_i0);
_c0 = CN31CiDBBean.getCOUNTRY_CODE(_i0);
}
catch (java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException _e0) {
break;
}
} %></SELECT><%
}
catch (java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException _e0) {
} %>
Thanks in advance for any help.
