Assigning java String variables to javascript

Popeye

Hi forum,
what is wrong with my script?

I execute:

var $props = new java.util.Properties();
$props.load(new java.io.FileInputStream("../userdata/config/test.properties"));
var $val = $props.getProperty("test2.dir");
_alert($val);

on the sahi controller window I see:
_alert({"bytes":[66,66,66],"empty":false,"class":undefined,"chars":null});

on the alert window:
[object Object]

test.properties contains:

test1.dir=AAA
test2.dir=BBB
test3.dir=CCC

Thanks for any hints

It is a conversion problem between Java's string to Javascript's string object.
Use:

var $val = "" + $props.getProperty("test2.dir");

Hi Narayan,
thanks for the hint.

However, var $val = $props.getProperty("test2.dir");
works with Release 2009-09-22 but not with release 2009-10-23

Thanks Popeye,

Will have a look. There were a few changes in the marshalling of $ variables and this bug may have been introduced. Will keep you posted.

Narayan
