I realize this is a slightly funky thing to need to do, but I'm trying to access my Spring messageSource bean from a custom Velocity tool. In most of our codebase, I'm able to just set up a member variable and load it like this: @Resource(name = "messageSource") private AbstractMessageSource _msgSource; However, in this circumstance,...
FAIR WARNING: this question is going to be pretty tough to answer unless you have experience with JIRA and have access to their source (enterprise users).

I am using struts2 with Velocity 1.5 and Velocity Tools 1.3. In my template I want to do a loop like: #set ($count = ${item.qty}) #foreach($i in [1..$count]) ${item.price} ........... #end ${item.qty} is a BigDecimal but it seems like its passed to Velocity as a String maybe. Since this loop does not work. Replacing to $count...

I would like my users to create their templates that means i won't know before hand what variables will be available? EDIT: In my template users will decide what gets printed. Such as $users $latest but from my application i won't know wh...
Does anybody know how to get a velocity macro to run when it's prepended by an Octothorpe? I have a velocity macro called #macro(getUniqueID $id) And I want to use it to spit out an id to be used by jQuery.find() which uses CSS selectors which means that the id needs to be prepended by another octothorpe. jquery.find("##getUniqueID...
I'm looking for a certain condition by using foreach to iterate through a collection (of permissions). So if I find all that I need and don't need to loop anymore, is there a way to break out of the loop? I am new to velocity and trying to grok this weird language. #foreach ($perm in $space.getPermissions()) #end ...
Hi all, I have recently been introduced to the Velocity project. I have written a template and have run it as a simple Java application. Integration within my existing web project has not been that easy. Can anyone supply a cookbook for integrating Velocity and Tomcat? Thanks all! ...
I use velocity to merge a String(template) with field like hi there I'am ${name}, And I'am ${age} old. velocity merged the field ${name} and ${age} with a kind of hashtable: velocityEngine.evaluate(context, writer, "", template); context is the hashtable(or better a VelocityContext type) I want when Velocity can't find the field i...

We are using a Maven archetype to create an initial setup for projects using our framework, which relies heavily on Freemarker. As a consequence we need to copy a few Freemarker templates when the archetype is used to generate a new project. The problem we ran into is that Maven seems to run Velocity on all of the files listed as resour...
As I saw in some examples, and tried to understand throughout the velocity site, there are three ways of initializing the velocityengine: - With the default configurations : .Init() - With the default configurations, plus the properties in a file : .Init(string) - With the default configurations, plus the properties in a collection : .In...
I have a velocity/html file. I'm trying to include/parse some simple HTML into a page. If I just copy the text directly on the the main file, it works fine: Miranda Kerr hasn’t been a Victoria’s Secret Angel for ... If I create a separate VM file, and include it like so: #parse("topicoftheday/homepagenews.vm") I get bad chara...
Hi, I have a struts2 web app using velocity. I am integrating Sitemesh to the project. The decorators are called properly but for some reasons, the objects placed in the context via the toolbox configuration (velocaity related) are not being loaded. Has anyone faced this issue? Thanks a lot ...
Spring Version: 2.5.6 I want to resolve the view to a specific velocity file based on the value of the User-Agent header. My current line of thinking is an implementation similar to the UrlBasedViewResolver such that the user-agent value is Map'd (via context) to a specific directory(value) based on a matching a regular expression(key)...
Our website uses the Apache Velocity template language. Our Content Management System already checks any generated XML documents for well-formedness. We've been asked to check documents to catch Velocity syntax errors before pushing the files to the live site. Is there a standard way of verifying the correctness of a Velocity template...
I have Apache Velocity. I have some jQuery code. I think VM doesn't like when I do things like $img.css("float","left"). How can I completely disable VM parsing within a block of HTML/Javascript ? Thanks ...
I have a very simple Velocity application that works on Linux and MacOS and fails on Windows. The problem is with the resource locations. I just give it "/" to allow it to recognize file system paths, but on Windows that fails to work for "c:/....." pathnames. I suspect that there is a simpler solution to this, but what? velocityEngine...
