Odd Behavior
Hello All,
I am learning Velocity and I am experiencing some odd behavior. I am
getting output from the template, but just the last line. The template
has this:
----------
My First Name is $firstName
My Last Name is $lastName
----------
The program is this:
----------
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.io.Writer;
import org.apache.velocity.Template;
import org.apache.velocity.VelocityContext;
import org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity;
public class ContextChaining {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// initialize Velocity
Velocity.init();
// get the template
Template template = Velocity.getTemplate("ContextChaining.vm");
// create two contexts for Velocity
VelocityContext context1 = new VelocityContext();
VelocityContext context2 = new VelocityContext(context1);
// set the who variable
context1.put("firstName", "Gandalf");
context2.put("lastName", "Stormcrow");
// create the output
Writer writer = new StringWriter();
template.merge(context2, writer);
// write out
System.out.println(writer.toString());
} // end of main method
} // End of class
----------
Any thoughts?

Hi Florin,
I believe Macs use \r while Unix based systems use \n.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for the time you put into
this, but that did not work either.
But here is what did work.
I use a Mac running MacOS 10.3.8. I am using BBEdit as my text editor.
It defaults to using Mac line endings. When I changed the line endings
of the template to Unix line endings, it worked. Both lines appeared. I
did not even touch the Velocity application.
So, it appears that the template requires either Unix or Windows line
endings.
Thank you for your help.

I've just copy and pasted your original code (with one modification to get
the resource loader path where I wanted it), and it "works for me".
The one mod:
Velocity.setProperty(Velocity.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH, "c:\\tmpl\\");
immediately before the call to Velocity.init();
I get both firstName and lastName output, nothing clipped.

Hi Mike,
I just tried it, but it had no effect on the output.
Thanks for you effort.
