Enumeration to string

[sandeepmur]

Hi,

I have an enumeration in a code I am trying to debug. .something like:

for (Enumeration vals = attr.getAll();vals.hasMoreElements()
{
out.println (vals.nextElement()+ "<br>");
//String nval = (String)vals.nextElement();
}
The above works fine and prints all the elements but If I try to cast the elements into Strings as seen in the commented line, the code stops execution after the first print statement.

Whats wrong here ??

The element in the enum is not a String ...

try this :

for (Enumeration vals = attr.getAll();vals.hasMoreElements();) {
   Object o = vals.nextElement();
   if (o instanceof java.lang.String) {
   		String nval = (String)vals.nextElement();
   } else {
	   System.err.println("Uh oh, its not a String, its a : " +o.getClass().getName());
   }
}
