A while back I chastised someone for not using proper String comparison
operators in their templates. I looked in the Velocity code and sure
enough "==" operators are translated into equals. So I was looking a bit
stupid.
Somebody challenged me to come up with a situation where the equality
"==" operator doesn't work with Strings.
Well, finally, I've just found an example in my code;
#if ($SummarySortField==$Field.getUdmFieldName())
This statement doesn't produce a true, neither does this;
#if ($SummarySortField==${Field.getUdmFieldName()})
But this version does:-
#if ($SummarySortField.equalsIgnoreCase($Field.getUdmFieldName()))
I thought perhaps I was going mad before when I raised this and plenty
of people on this list questioned me, but can anyone explain this?
