Hi Jeff,
I did a similar setup in a Cocoon2.2 block and the same problem occurs:
function testSwitch() {
var cmd = cocoon.request.getParameter("cmd");
print("cmd=" + cmd);
print(cmd.getClass().getName());
switch(cmd) {
case "save":
print("request parameter was save");
break;
case "delete":
print("request parameter was delete");
break;
default:
print("request parameter was none of the above");
break;
}
}
Output in console:
cmd=delete
java.lang.String
request parameter was none of the above
By the way... cmd.getClass().getName() is only possible if the object is in
fact a java object. They use LiveConnect so you can easily use Java and
JavaScript together. I suspect that the switch does not work properly on
java.lang.String.
So when you convert the cmd to a native javascript object it suddenly will work
again. A better solution is demonstrated below:
function testSwitch() {
var cmd = getCmd("cmd");
switch(cmd) {
case "save":
print("request parameter was save");
break;
case "delete":
print("request parameter was delete");
break;
default:
print("request parameter was none of the above");
break;
}
}
function getCmd(name) {
return "" + cocoon.request.getParameter(name); // --> we need to make
sure we get a native javascript object so our switch will work
}
Kind regards,
Robby

Subject: RE: Can't use switch with cocoon.request.get in flowscript
In effect, I already do that with the following code which is my workaround.
In this case the switch DOES work.
var cmd = cocoon.request.get("Cmd");
//For some reason, the switch doesn't work with the
//string returned from cocoon.request.get, but if
//statements do.
if (cmd == "Open") {
cmd = "Open";
}
if (cmd == "Create Model") {
cmd = "Create Model";
}
if (cmd == "Account") {
cmd = "Account";
}
if (cmd == "Logout") {
cmd = "Logout";
}
switch (cmd) {
case "Open":
