Description chillum CLA 2004-08-12 15:28:54 EDT
For some reason assigning a string like the following will cause the string to
store an empty string.
static final String default_tran_behavior = "<ALL UNSPECIFIED>";
So when I use default_tran_behavior it will have a value of "".

Just tried it and it worked fine.

Can you attach your source & .class file?
Comment 2 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-08-12 17:43:27 EDT
Reduce severity since we cannot reproduce.
Comment 3 chillum CLA 2004-08-12 20:43:45 EDT
False alarm.
The mouse over on the variable displayed a empty string.
See attached image.
