Hi
Thanks Alex. I played a littel bit with an comparator. The result is the
same, but I'm not so familiar with this.
public class CaseInsensitiveComparator
implements java.util.Comparator {
public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
String s1 = o1.toString().toUpperCase().trim();
String s2 = o2.toString().toUpperCase().trim();
return s1.compareTo(s2);
}
}
private void sortMyChildren(Collection myChildren, JspWriter out) throws
IOException, RepositoryException {
//Array for the sorted children
ArrayList childrenArrayList = new ArrayList();
childrenArrayList.add("dd");
childrenArrayList.add("cc");
childrenArrayList.add("aa");
childrenArrayList.add("bb");
//
//Iterate through children an get the nodeData
for (Iterator myChildrenIterator = myChildren.iterator();
myChildrenIterator.hasNext();) {
//
//go throug the paragraph
Content para = (Content)myChildrenIterator.next();
//
//Get the nodeData
Iterator paraNodes = para.getChildren().iterator();
Content nodes = (Content)paraNodes.next();
String node4sort = nodes.getNodeData("region").getString();
//Fill the ArrayList
childrenArrayList.add(node4sort);
}
//
//now sort the array
Collections.sort(childrenArrayList, new CaseInsensitiveComparator());
int size = childrenArrayList.size();
for (int i=0; i<size; i++) {
out.println(childrenArrayList.get(i) + "<br />");
}
}
The Strings "aa","bb","cc" and "dd" are sorted, but the strings I get
from Node (node4sort) are in the original order.
When I test the comparator with the code below it works perfect
Object[] data = {"Aubergine","banana","aubergine","Banana"};
List list = Arrays.asList(data);
Collections.sort(list, new CaseInsensitiveComparator());
out.println(list);
Browsing the internet everywhere is written that the collections.sort()
function fits perfect for strings like "myString" (case-sensitive).
So I'm asking me, if getNodeData("someNode").getString() doesn't return
a "normal" string, even when there are NodeDatas like
"Umbrien","Toscana" etc.
Hmmm. Somewhere is the solution
