How to load a macro from file (again!!!)
Hi everybody,
I am new to this list, and I need your help.
I've already looked for some tips but I'm still a bit puzzled about this
issue: how to load a velocity macro file.
I know this topic has been discussed for a long time and I think I've search
back and forth enough, there's just a small step to do that's still missing.
This is the environment: Developing a plugin for Jira in Tomcat.
This is out piece of code Java Side:
-------
Properties customVelocityFile = new Properties();
InputStream resourceAsStream =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("apt-velocity.properties");
customVelocityFile.load(resourceAsStream);
Velocity.init(customVelocityFile);
-------
So that I can load my vmfile from classpath. This is actually working, as I
can see from velocity.log file:
-------
2009-01-05 15:25:37,955 - Velocimacro : initialization starting.
2009-01-05 15:25:37,955 - Velocimacro : adding VMs from VM library template
: templates/action/apt/macros.vm
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocimacro : added new VM : #descriptionDivItem(
issue ) : source = templates/action/apt/macros.vm
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - ResourceManager : found
templates/action/apt/macros.vm with loader
org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocimacro : VM library template macro
registration complete.
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocimacro : allowInline = true : VMs can be
defined inline in templates
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocimacro : allowInlineToOverride = true : VMs
defined inline may replace previous VM definitions
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocimacro : allowInlineLocal = true : VMs
defined inline will be local to their defining template only.
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocimacro : messages on : VM system will output
logging messages
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocimacro : autoload on : VM system will
automatically reload global library macros
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocimacro : initialization complete.
2009-01-05 15:25:37,956 - Velocity successfully started.
-------
In the lines above you can read that the file loaded is
templates/action/apt/macros.vm and it contains the macro
#descriptionDivItem( issue )
After that I tried to call this macro from a velocity template, but the
macro wasn't parsed. Notice that I didn't use the #parse directive, maybe
should I use it?
I think I'm near to the final solution, but at the moment I'm clueless.
I hope I have been clear enough, and that you can give me some advice.
Thank you in advance.
Happy new year
Ale

I would just make a new engine when adding to the global velocimacro
library. There is a merge method that allows you to specify macro
libraries at merge time, but they don't stay in memory. You can set
your properties so that inline macros are always registered as global,
but that has obvious side effects. I'd recommend just init'ing a new
engine for such a change. Yes, you will lose already cached
templates, but hopefully this isn't something you do often.

Hello everybody, it's me again
After a lot of research I've found what I was looking for, but now
there's another problem...
I can get an already inited VelocityEngine, now I have to add at
runtime another velocimacro file; how can I do that? Is it possible?
Thank you in advance,
Ale

Ok, I'll check also some JIRA ml, but I am quite sure you're right,
there is another VelocityEngine (not singleton) that's doing the dirty
job :|
I think I need to get it someway, so I'm thinking to change my code
Velocity.init(customVelocityFile);
Velocity.getProperty(velocimacroLibrary);
into
VelocityEngine ve =
someClass.getCurrentVelocityEngineOrWhateverThisMethodHasBeenNamed();
ve..getProperty(velocimacroLibrary);
Any suggestion?
Thanks again, you've been very helpful

I don't know anything about JIRA, so i'm totally guessing here: you
could check the web.xml and see if there is a VelocityViewServlet in
sight. You can also keep an eye out for any other velocity.properties
files, of course, then try editing that.
if JIRA has a user list, they might have an answer to my question.

This is a good point; unfortunately I don't know the answer :(
I'm using the singleton in my Action class, as I said, this is a jira
plugin, a sort of thing I'm not used to yet and worst of all something out
of my control...
Can you give me an adivice where to search for what you asked? Should there
be a configuration file somewhere?
Thank you for your advices, I'll do further investigation

I thouht so, but the library is included in the jira webapp, I am stuck to

Anyway this is a good news, I'll keep it in mind ;)

i don't think it's often useful; most of the time there's another,
better way. but there are those who have needed it. not having been
one myself, i don't have a great example. but here's a made up one:
---foo.vm----
#macro( link $page )http://foo.com/$page#end
#macro( blah $x )Do y with $x here#end
...
---bar.vm----
#macro( link $page )http://bar.com/$page#end
#macro( blah $x )Do z with $x here#end
...
---template.vm----
#if( $user.foo )
#parse( 'foo.vm' )
#else
#parse( 'bar.vm' )
#end
Hello $user.name,
<a href="#link( 'home.html' )">#blah( 'your account' )</a>.
sincerely,
george of the jungle

Using #parse to load macros - that sounds interesting - can you give
an example, and explain when/why that may be useful?

Oh, and if you were using Velocity 1.6.1, then you could use #parse to
load your macros. But that will not work with earlier versions.

Your properties look fine and the logs confirm that. I can only guess
that whatever VelocityEngine or Velocity singleton that is processing
your template is not the same one that you are initializing. What
code/servlet/whatever are you using to process templates? Your
example code shows that you are using the Velocity singleton. Are you
using that to load and merge your templates?

Re: How to load a macro from file (again!!!)
Posted by Alessandro Novarini <a....@sourcesense.com>.
Just a couple of infos to add...
Velocity version is 1.4
My velocity.properties (apt-velocity.properties as stated in my previous
mail) looks like this one:
resource.loader=class
class.resource.loader.description=Velocity Classpath Resource Loader
class.resource.loader.class=
org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader
velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline = true
velocimacro.library.autoreload = true
velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.to.replace.global = true
velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.local.scope = true
velocimacro.library=templates/action/apt/macros.vm
runtime.log.error.stacktrace = true
runtime.log.warn.stacktrace = true
runtime.log.info.stacktrace = true
runtime.log.debug.stacktrace = true
runtime.log.invalid.reference = true
Again, Thank You
Ale
