Compare null
How can I compare 'null' in my velocity template for if condition???
The following results in an error.
#if(null == $p.getDisplayaddressbool()){
}
TIA,

RE: Compare null
#set ( $displayAddr = $p.getDisplayaddressbool())
if($displayAddr)
//if displayAddr is not null
#else
//control will come here if displayAddr is null #end
If the above code is inside a for loop, the u'll have to set $displayAddr to
false at the end of the loop.
#set ( $displayAddr = false )

Re: Compare null
Ah thanks!
This should work, but there a global macro somewhere in my code that
replaces all these blank for nulls by NA value.
Now I'll have to figure out whether this test comes first or it is the
macro. Someone else wrote this code and he's leaving
It's fun being a programmer, excitement never stops! ;)

Nathan,
Are you one of the original developers of Velocity? I find your replies
quite useful and thorough.

you're confusing java with VTL. VTL has no null keyword or token. (though
it
was discussed favorably in ages long past.)
i've found the most reliable way to test for nulls is:
#if( $!myboolean == ) foo is null! #end

nope. i'm not even a committer for the velocity core. i'm just a
velocity-tools committer and long-time velocity user (getting close to 4
years). so i've been around the lists and the code long enough to pick up a
few useful tricks and tips. :)
