default silent notation

Hello there.
Quick question.  Is there any way to change some setting in 
velocity.properties
that will make it so that "silent" notation is the default?

By default, "$myVar" always shows up on the page when the value is 
null.  Which
is usually fine.  But, sometimes, I want it to not appear.  The same as 
"$!myVar".

Any way to have this set system wide?

Thanks a lot.


Charlie

Check out EventCartridges and ReferenceInsertionEventHandler.
   http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/developer-guide.html#EventCartridge%20and%20Event%20Handlers
You should be able to configure all null to be inserted as blank.  ;)
