Need help displaying Innformation on a template
Ok this here is my problem. I have a web page that I want to be able
to display dynamic content on. In my source program I have a Vector of
objects that I have fields in it like first name, Last name, and
address. I want to be able to access these fields. In my webpage I
have an if statement (#if($Array)) and a #foreach statement my #foreach
statement is
#foreach ($person in $Array) and I have calls like $person.getFirst() in
my webpage. I have created a method that should fill up the variable
Array and then merge that with velocity template. However when I try
and view the dynamic content All I get is the else block in my web
page. If you need more information let me know.

Well I think that's what it was. I didn't output the writer object. I
was able to use System.out.println(writer.toString()); to view the html
code. It was printed to my debugging screen. How would I be able to do
the same but have it be printed to a web page? I am still new to web
programming.

Re: Need help displaying Innformation on a template
Posted by Simon Christian <si...@stoutstick.com>.
Hi Paul,
One thing I thought worth checking with the code you've shown, which I'm
guessing now has been changed to something like this:
public void createContext(InfoBean [] array)
{
Velocity.init();
Template template = null;
template = Velocity.getTemplate("/sortResults.vm");
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
removeInsert(array);
<Map<String,String>> vecInfo = data.getInformation();
context.put("Array", vecInfo)
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter ();
template.merge(context, writer);
}
In this code, you never *do* anything with the writer after the merge
i.e. the contents of the writer aren't returned and it's not printed
anywhere in that method. Can you confirm that you are actually seeing
the results of doing the template merge from this method, and not
perhaps from some other method?

Re: Need help displaying Innformation on a template
Posted by Paul Goepfert <pa...@gmail.com>.
I haven't yet tried to compile with the -ea switch. And yes I have
atleast jdk 1.4.2 running. Anyway Yesterday I decided to put my program
through a debugger. I am using the Netbeans 4.1 debugger. I can now
say that I believe that the context.put("Array", vecInfo); ois noow
working. However when it comes time to display the contents on my
webpage I still get put into the #else box rather then the body of the
#if. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. My code is in previous
posts.
A few things to note in my velocity template I have changed the method
calls to just variable names. Also I have included List <Map<String,
String>> vecInfo = data.getInformation(); context.put("Array", vecInfo);
into my create context method.

Re: Need help displaying Innformation on a template
Posted by Jack Holt <ja...@gmail.com>.
Sorry. In order for the assert to actually do anything, you have to
add the -ea switch to the java command (I'm assuming you're using at
least J2SE 1.4 since you apparently didn't have a problem compiling).

Re: Need help displaying Innformation on a template
Posted by Paul Goepfert <pa...@gmail.com>.
Well I just tried the code you just gave me Jack. I don't think it
threw an exception. However I still get the else block rather then
getting the contents of my vector. I tried to use the other code that
was posted but I couldn't find the method getRequestScope() in the
VelocityContext class.

Try replacing "context.put("Array", getInformation());" with
Vector vecInfo = getInformation();
assert vecInfo != null;
context.put("Array", vecInfo);
and let me know if the assert throws an exception.

Re: Need help displaying Innformation on a template

Here is my code for creating the context. Most of this code is

there is something here that is unnecessary let me know. I am also
including part of my template so you can see how I'm trying to display
the values.

//Each element in the Vector is of InfoBean (String,String,String,String,String,String)
context.put("Array", getInformation());
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter ();

Re: Need help displaying Innformation on a template
Posted by Jack Holt <ja...@gmail.com>.
Could you include actual snippets of the code? In my code that backs
the Velocity templates, I'm using code like the following:
// get a List of Maps. The map contains keys of "id" and "name"
List<Map<String,String>> routeList = getRouteList();
// the following is for Spring Web Flow but just results in the
"routeList" variable ending
// up in the Velocity context
context.getRequestScope().setAttribute("routeList",routeList);
And in the Velocity template, I'm using:
#foreach($route in $routeList)
$route.id
$route.name
#end
However, I'm sure you understand that if you are getting the else
block everytime, that means the $Array is either null, non-existant or
false. Are you sure that are actually placing $Array into the
Velocity context?
