Herve Boutemy commented on ARCHETYPE-367: ----------------------------------------- IIUC, properties are interpreted as Strings by default then Velocity interprets $isCXF as String, which is equivalent to "true" so you need to do explicit boolean transformation with "$isCXF == true" I understand that it is not very natural, but the only solution I can see is adding a type to properties, but where? Do you have an idea of a way it could be specified? > boolean requiredProperty used in archetype ressource doesn't work as expected > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARCHETYPE-367 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-367 > Project: Maven Archetype > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Archetypes > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Björn Mahler > Priority: Minor > > I created a custom Property like ${isCXF} to enable cxf-functionality in our > archetype. In a resource file (web.xml) I've something like this: > #if($isCXF) > <!-- CXF SOAP servlet --> > <servlet> > [...] > #end > and this doesn't work. isCXF is always true! and the code in the if-block is > always rendered consequently. So I modified it to: ($isCXF == true). And that > worked, but it's more verbose and error-prone. > maybe the Object generated for the variable doesn't overwrite toString > correctly? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
