asked on

can't use getString to get char value

if (rst.getString("Inv_ItemModelNo").equals("")) -----> if Inv_Type data type varchar den this statement is working

if (rst.getString("Inv_Type").equals("")) -----> if Inv_Type data type char den this statement is nt working (how to make this work?)

thks

Would this work?

if (Character.toString(rst.getString("Inv_Type")).equals(""))

How about:

if (rst.getString("Inv_Type") == '')

That is 2 single quotes at the end.

If rs.getString is returning type char (java primitive) then you cannot perform a .equals operation on it, its not an object.

What exception are you getting when the data type is char ?

Krule

if (String.valueOf(rst.getString("Inv_Type")).equals("") )

if (!rst.getString("Inv_Type").equals("OH"))

if (!rst.getString("Inv_ISOCountryCode").equals("ID"))

both inv_type and Inv_ISOCountryCode are char type

but inv_type is working on the if statement but Inv_ISOCountryCode is nt working in the if statemenet

is it because the field name too long? is it jsp got such limits? if yes how should i solve it?

thanks
