Retrieving data from a hashmap from within a JSP

kbd · Dec 2, 2004

Hello:

I can not understand what I have done wrong. I need to test if a
key/value pair exists in a hashmap from within a JSP. I though this
would be simple. Struts is also involved here, but I do not believe
that Struts is causing any problems.

The key/values are placed in the hashmap as follows:
hMap = new HashMap(20);
while ( rs.next() ) {
fRoles = new FormRoles();
fRoles.setFormName(rs.getString("FormName"));
fRoles.setCreate( ( rs.getInt("C")==1)? true:false );
fRoles.setRead( ( rs.getInt("R")==1)? true:false );
fRoles.setUpdate( ( rs.getInt("U")==1)? true:false );
fRoles.setDelete( ( rs.getInt("D")==1)? true:false );
hMap.put(rs.getString("FormName"), fRoles);
} //while
user.setFormRoles( hMap);
In the above code I place the FormRoles objects into the hashmap with
a String as the key. I will be able to retrieve the objects with a
String. Ie. if the form name is "manager", get("manager") will return
the corresponding FormRole object.
Correct??

Here is my JSP:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c_rt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" %>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>

<html>

<head>

<title>Welcome World!</title>

<body bgcolor="white">

<br>
<br>
<bean:define id="fRoles" name="user" property="frmRoles"
type="java.util.HashMap" toScope="page"/>
<logic:iterate id="element" name="fRoles">
Key is <bean:write name="element" property="key"/> <br>
Value is <bean:write name="element" property="value"/> <br>
</logic:iterate>

<c:forEach var="element" items="${fRoles}">
<c

ut value="Key=${element.key}, Value=${element.value}"/>
<br>
</c:forEach>

fRoles.size() returns <%= fRoles.size() %> <br>
fRoles.keySet() returns <%= fRoles.keySet() %> <br>
fRoles.containsKey("manager") returns <%=
fRoles.containsKey("manager") %>
<br>
<c:forEach items="${fRoles}" var="item">
<c:if test="${item.key == 'manager'}">
Found manager
</c:if>
</c:forEach>

<c:choose>
<c:when test= '<% fRoles.get("manager") != null %> '>
Found formRoles manager
</c:when>
<c

therwise>
NOT Found
</c

therwise>
</c:choose>

</logic

</ul>

fRoles.keySet() returns [country , manager , region , currency ,

fRoles.containsKey("manager") returns false
NOT Found

This tells me that I have a valid hashmap object. But why, oh why
does fRoles.containsKey("manager") return false. I am stumped.

Thanks much for looking at this issue.

best regard.

Correct??

So far so good...

[... snip ...]
fRoles.keySet() returns [country , manager , region , currency ,
classificationType , managerFundClass , pgsPortfolio ,
pgsMgrAllocations , pgsPortfolioShareClass , managerFund ,
classification ]
[... snip ...]

It looks to me like you might have some trailing whitespace on the
strings used as the key of the hashmap. And, since "manager " !=
"manager", your call to containsKey returns false.

Try adding the elements to the hashmap with
hMap.put(rs.getString("FormName").trim(), fRoles);
^^^^^^^
and see if that helps.

Home this helps,
