double rendering

[Andrew Wirt <aw...@umich.edu>]

Hi,

    I am using a velocimacro to create some dhtml with a java class :

#macro ( menu $m)

    $m.getHtml()

#end

and would like the String returned to again be rendered by the velocity engine, as my java class writes some references that I need eval'd at run-time.

Is this possible?  I saw the #parse command, but that seems to be just for files, and I don't want to have to write the String to a file.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

The usual approach is to make a little tool that allows you to use the
Velocity.evaluate() method to render.

I need to take some time off for Velocity catch-up - I'll make a little eval
tool and  #eval() directive and put in contrib...
