Nathan Bubna resolved VELTOOLS-139. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix > Bundle a NullTool in velocity Tools > ----------------------------------- > > Key: VELTOOLS-139 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-139 > Project: Velocity Tools > Issue Type: Wish > Components: GenericTools > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Vincent Massol > > Right now, in order to check for null we have to use: > {code}#if ((! $var) && ("$!var" == "")){code} > which is painful when you have lots of checks to do in several places. > It would be nice either to have better null check support in velocity core or > to bundle to NullTool in Velocity Tools: > http://wiki.apache.org/velocity/NullTool > I checked the user guide and googled around and couldn't find any simple way > to check for null except using an undefined variable which I find way too > magical and dangerous (what if someone defines that variable in the context). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
