Hi,
I would make some suggestions. One instead of casting your object
into a string
>(java.lang.String) valueAtColumnRow(BV_NBR_COLUMN, index);
I find it easier to convert the data straight to a string when
getting the object data from the sql statement
so for example:
your_recordset.getObject(1).toString()
Of course this won't work if you need to use the data element as other
than a string, but most of the time in a JSP you really only care about
the string representation of the data.
On the actual problem
I would trim the data and check after the trim. If that doesn't work
literally print out the values of each to the screen side by side and double
check what you have is actually what you think it is.
