Generic Toolbox has math tool which has random method.. So I want to use this
to generate random number on my template.
I created toolbox.xml and dropped it to WEB-INF folder plus
velocity-tools-generic-1.2.jar in to WEB-INF/lib
I don't know and couldn't find what should I put in velocity.properties?..
Could you help me out? because it still doesn't work on templates,.. $math
is not available.. I guess I still should do something..
Thx

yes, we could do that, but I don't think there is a strong need.

If you want to enable it you can certainly do that for your 
installation.  Just configure it in the WEB-INF/velocity.properties file 
and you should be all set.

No there isn't any way to do that right now, but I suppose that a method 
could be added to the UtilitiesModel for getting a random number.

Something like, $utils.randomNumber()
