The following page has been changed by HenriYandell: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-taglibs/Standard1%2e1%2e3FAQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q. Using string() on a complex expression in an xml tag is returning an empty string. What's up? - A. This was reported by Yuriy Yatsyk in [https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33032 #33032] and appears to be due to some oddity in the way the Standard Taglib uses Xalan. The work around is to split your code up so that string() is applied to a simple expression. Using Yuriy's example: + A.

The Standard Taglib depends on Xalan. Why? + + A. The original source was coded against Xalan packages and not the XSL specification. It's unlikely that this will be changing any time soon, so you will need to include Xalan with your web applications. See [https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30050 #30050] to see if any developments occur with this issue. + + + Q. The order of columns coming back in my SQL query does not match the order returned by the specification. Why? + + A. The underlying code for sql:query uses a TreeMap to hold the row data. Unfortunately the specification limits us and we can't change this to a SortedMap, so there is no way to fix this bug. However if you approach the sql:query differently you can work around this issue. Consider the following code that avoids using the row data: + + {{{ + <%-- Get the column names for the header of the table --%> + <c:forEach var="columnName" items="${db.columnNames}"> + <th><c:out value="${columnName}"/></th> + </c:forEach> + + <%-- Get the value of each column while iterating over rows --%> + <c:forEach var="row" items="${db.rowsByIndex}"> + <tr> + <c:forEach var="column" items="${row}"> + <td><c:out value="${column}"/></td> + </c:forEach> + </c:forEach> + }}} + + For more information concerning this bug, see [https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33054 #33054] + --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
