Inject new objects to roller templates

[omar Martin Velasco <bi...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

We are using roller 4 and we have created a filter that process every roller request. In the filter, we wanna inject a velocity object to the velocity context and read it from the templates. We have trying to set the attribute in the session like:

     request.getSession().setAttribute('name', object);

 In the template we try to get the attribute like:

     #set($name=$request.getHttpServletRequest().getSession().getAttribute('name'))

but this doesn't work.
        
Thanks for any advice!

There is no $request object in Roller. If you want to add a new model
object to Roller, then implement the PageModel interface. This email
has some details: http://markmail.org/message/eefvzetzvkjzi76x
