variable values in loops

[veremue]

//Define Iterator iter

String policyPath = "";
while (iter.hasNext())
{
deductionL = (DeductionsLocal) iter.next();

String policyID = deductionL.getPolicyID();

policyL = policyH.findByPrimaryKey(policyID);

if(policyL.getStatus().equalsIgnoreCase("READY TO GO INTO FORCE")||policyL.getStatus().equalsIgnoreCase("IN FORCE"))
policyPath = "/NewBusiness/displayPolicyApproved.jsp";
else
policyPath = Utils.getPolicyPath(policyL.getNextAction());



//other code
//end loop
}

why is it that policyPath has nothing for the rest of the iterations?

1.) Code tags code tags code tags code tags code tags code tags
2.) What makes you sure that there's nothing in policyPath ?
3.) If there is nothing, then the reason will be that the getPolicyPath in your Utils class did not return anything
