Velocity Action overriding layouts?

[Jack Axaopoulos <ja...@cisco.com>]

Is it possible for a Velocity action which is called
to override which layout will be used?

I noticed that RunData implements setLayoutTemplate(),
but it doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Here is what i'm trying to accomplish.

Say a user fills in some form data, but there is an error,
and you want to display the exact same form
but with a new error message being shown above the form in red.

I was hoping to dynamically switch to an ErrorMessageLayout.vm
which simply adds a $UserErrorMessage variable and contains
$screen_placeholder where the original screen/form would appear.

What is a typical Velocity pattern for handling this?


Im using Turbine 2.1 and Velocity 1.2.

Regards,

J

Jack,
You should be able to get an answer to this question on the Turbine 
User list. Velocity doesn't deal with things such as RunData and 
screens.
