Comments in Velocity maps ..

[Brad Eisan <br...@5star-network.com>]

Hello,

I have a quick question regarding maps and nesting comments in them.

I have a map as follows:

#set( $foo = {
"1" : "Baz",
"2" : "Bat",
"3" : "Bar"
})

When I change it to have comment(s) nested within:

#set( $foo = {
## Products
"1" : "Baz",
"2" : "Bat",
"3" : "Bar"
})

I get a Parser Exception with the explanation "Encountered "\n" at line 
2, column 12."

This same error occurs where ever the comment is placed (beside a 
key-value pair, the first line, etc.). Does anyone know if there is a 
way to nest comments in a Velocity map?

Thanks,
Brad

Unfortunately, Velocity currently doesn't support comments here.  It
only supports comments in the non-VTL context.
For now, your solution could be to place the comment before the whole lot.

## Products
#set( $foo = {
"1" : "Baz",
"2" : "Bat",
"3" : "Bar"
})
