Hey all... I'm running into some strange phenomena...

I have a VF page like so:

<apex:page standardController="workOrder__c"   extensions="workOrderController" action="{!init}">
    <apex:variable value="{!workOrder__c}" var="wrk"/>
        
    <apex:sectionHeader title="Work Order" subtitle="{!wrk.name}"/>

    {!hasShp}

</apex:page>

And the extension as such:

public with sharing class workOrderController {

    public woJct__c [] jcts = new woJct__c[0];
    
    private workOrder__c workOrder;

    //If the jcts list contains any relatedToObject__c = "Shipment__c", then set this as true
    //so I can render that component
    public boolean hasShp = true;

    //If the jcts list contains any relatedToObject__c = "Terminal_prep_order__c"
    //then set this as true so I can render the component
    public boolean hasTrmPrp = true;

    //Make sure we can use this page as an extension on and above the standard controller
    public ApexPages.StandardController controller;
    public workOrderController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) 
    {
        this.controller = controller;

        workOrder = (workOrder__c)controller.getRecord();
    }
    
    public void init()
    {
        if (workOrder.Status__c == 'New')
        {
            if (workOrder.OwnerId == UserInfo.getUserId()) {
                workOrder.Status__c = 'Open';
                update workOrder;
            }
        }
        UpdateBooleans();    
    }
    
    private void UpdateBooleans()
    {
        woJct__c[] jctsShipment = [
                SELECT Id 
                FROM woJct__c 
                WHERE workOrder__c = :workOrder.Id AND relatedToObject__c = :'Shipment__c'];
        hasShp = jctsShipment.size() > 0;
        
        woJct__c[] jctsTerminal = [
                SELECT Id 
                FROM woJct__c 
                WHERE workOrder__c = :workOrder.Id AND relatedToObject__c = :'Terminal_prep_order__c'];
        hasTrmPrp = jctsTerminal.size() > 0;
    }

    //This gets all the woJcts - If there is a better way, please do it.
    public woJct__c[] getJcts(){
        jcts = [
            select id, name, relatedToId__c, relatedToName__c, relatedToObject__c, complete__c 
            from woJct__c where workOrder__c = :ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')
        ];
        return jcts;
    }

}

When I add {!hasShp} to the VF page, I get the following error:

Error: Unknown property 'workOrder__cStandardController.hasShp'

It makes no sense to me! Please help!

thanks!
