if-elseif conditions

[Miroslav Kosec]

Hello,
wanted to ask if there's any way to apply multiple jt:if tags for cell. What I am trying to do is that i have forEach loop to insert list of values into row. When inserting I need to check indexVar and based on it's value then set formatting. for example 1st cell will have color1, 2nd will have color2, 3rd color3 and so on.

Hi Miroslav,

This is likely the issue already described here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/jett/tickets/10/

I assume this issue is not fixed. Maybe you can write more details in the above issue to help Randy reproduce the problem.
He also provided a workaround in the ticket, where you can write your code in a JEXL block in the style="${your code goes here}" . I this this should work for you, let me know if you meet any problem getting something that works.

Thanks for reply,
first off, I am familiar with that post you linked above, this example seems not to be valid :
< jt:style style="bottom-border-color:${(index == 0) ? color : color2}"/ >
As I understand jt:style tags cant be bodyless. Based on that post, I have tried this:
<jt:style style="border-left:${(index == 0) ? medium : thin}">${item}</jt:style>
but nothing got formatted according that JEXL condition block. Could you provide some specific example that you are sure it works? For example what I have in my example: If index equals 0, then left border is formatted medium, else thin.

Thanks

This code works for me:

<jt:forEach items="${items}" var="item" indexVar="index"> 
<jt:style style="font-color: ${index % 2 == 0 ? 'red' : 'blue'}">
${item} / ${index}  
</jt:style>
</jt:forEach>

You should ensure that your JEXL code should return a string; in your second piece of code, "medium" and "thin" don't have any quotes, so unless you've defined some variables with these names they will be undefined.

So it should be <jt:style style="border-left:${(index == 0) ? 'medium' : 'thin'}">${item}</jt:style> (note the single quotes).
