printWhenExpression compare String values

2004-12-16 07:35

I'm having a bit of trouble comparing two string values using the printWhenExpression tag. I have a field that returns either a "Y" or "N" string value. the expression I had tired was

 

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($F{FIELD_!}.equalsIgnoreCase("N"))]]></printWhenExpression>

 

or

 

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($F{WIF_ADDL_SHEETS}.equalsIgnoreCase("Y"))]]></printWhenExpression>

 

It doesn't throw an error yet I can't get a value to print out either. Any suggestions?

that should have been......

 

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($F{WIF_ADDL_SHEETS}.equalsIgnoreCase("N"))]]></printWhenExpression>

 

or

 

<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($F{WIF_ADDL_SHEETS}.equalsIgnoreCase("Y"))]]></printWhenExpression>

 

and after stepping through the code it seems that whether WIF_ADDL_SHEETS = "Y" or "N" the boolean value is always false.
