Hi,
I've run into a problem with testing for a null in #defined block with
an #if directive. The manual states: "The variable $foo is evaluated
to determine whether it is true, which will happen under one of two
circumstances: <..> or (ii) the value is not null.
I feed an array of lists
...
String[] [] Items = {{"A", "100"}, {"B", null}};
context.put("Items", Items);
...
to this Velocity script:
...
#define( $key )$item.get(0)#end
#define( $val )$item.get(1)#end
#foreach ( $item in $Items )
(1)#if( $item.get(1) )$key:$val
#end
(2)#if( $val )$key:$val
#end
#end
...
I get back:
(1)A:100
(2)A:100
(1)(2)B:$item.get(1)
So, #if could detect null (missing value) in #if( $item.get(1) ), but
could not in #defined block #if( $val ). What am I missing? I
definitely don't want to mention the b-word here :) and appreciate any
help, guidance or comments.
Thanks,
Margus
