Re: [xwiki-users] Trouble assessing boolean property value of an object

Sergiu,

Thanks for all your help, everything is working perfectly now!

 Yes, I read the whole snippet again. The problem is that $object is not
 an object, but a document. You must replace:
 
 #set ($object = $xwiki.getDocument(${item}))
 
 with
 
 #set($object =
 $xwiki.getDocument(${item}).getObject('Example.ExampleClass'))

Re: [xwiki-users] Trouble assessing boolean property value of an object

Hi,

See below:

 Hi all,

 I'm having trouble using Velocity to analyze the boolean value of a property
 of a class.

 For example, I have class X, with a property Y (I'll call this property
 'example_bool' in the lower example code) which is of type 'Boolean'.  I've
 configured this property to use radio buttons so the user is only able to
 choose one value.  I've created several objects of this class, making sure
 to utilize both the 'Yes' and 'No' values for some of these objects (to
 ensure for testing purposes I have some of both).

 This class also has another property, a static list, of location strings,
 such as 'Location X', 'Location Y', etc.

 Now, on a page, I am trying to calculate how many of each location have the
 boolean value of Yes and no with the following velocity/HQL statement:

 #set ($results = $xwiki.search(select obj.name from BaseObject obj,
 StringProperty prop where obj.className='Example.ExampleClass' and
 obj.name'Example.ExampleClassTemplate' and prop.id.id=obj.id and
 prop.name='location' and prop.value='Location X' order by obj.name asc))
 #set ($numTrue = 0)
 #set ($numFalse = 0)
 #foreach ($item in $results)
#set ($object = $xwiki.getDocument(${item}))
#if (!$object.get(example_bool))
   #set ($numFalse = $numFalse + 1)
#else
   #set ($numTrue = $numTrue + 1)
#end
 #end
Try to replace

#if (!$object.get(example_bool))

by

#if (!$object.getProperty(example_bool).value)

Hope this helps (haven't tested, I admit)

Jerome.



 This code is being executed without error, however, the 'True' count is
 always being evaluated as the total number of objects, while the 'False'
 count always stays at 0, even though I KNOW there are objects in this group
 that have the value of 'No' for the 'example_bool' property.

 Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or have any ideas that might help me
 out?  Thanks in advance gang.

 On a side note, I've also noted that when using the Boolean property, the
 user has the choice of 'Yes', 'No' and '---'.  What is this later value
 ('---') and why is it always included?  To me, the meaning of Boolean means
 'True OR False' and nothing else.  Does this third value have a purpose? 
 And is there a way of excluding it from the choices the user sees?

 Thanks again everyone!

Jerome,

Thanks for your suggestion, but it didn't seem to work...

I tried using:

#if (!$object.get(example_bool).value)
#if (!$object.getProperty(example_bool))
#if (!$object.getProperty(example_bool).value)

All of these variations produce similar results, but not exactly the same as
the original method I tried.  The only difference now is that all are being
equated to 'False' and none are 'True' (the exact opposite of the behavior
when using #if (!$object.get(example_bool))).  Still not the correct
output.

Any other ideas?

The property value is an integer, not a boolean.
