variable values in loops

[veremue]

//Define Iterator iter

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

String policyID = deductionL.getP olicyID();

policyL = policyH.findByP rimaryKey(polic yID);

if(policyL.getS tatus().equalsI gnoreCase("READ Y TO GO INTO FORCE")||policy L.getStatus().e qualsIgnoreCase ("IN FORCE"))
policyPath = "/NewBusiness/displayPolicyAp proved.jsp";
else
policyPath = Utils.getPolicy Path(policyL.ge tNextAction());



//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
