Extension repository ?
Hey all,
I'm looking for an extension to velocity that has something like a
#required('com.foo.MyVelocityController') , wich Velocity would parse,
load and execute this class which would stuff into that templates
VelocityContext.
Does something like this exist ? Is their a contrib/ list or a
repository for Velocity extensions ?
Thanks!
Charlie

Did you look on the wiki? There's a contributed code section.

You could easily do this with a "tool" (see VelocityTools). They're
usually easier to write than a custom directive, though those are more
intimidating than they are complicated. With a tool you could then do
something like $context.required('com.foo.MyVelocityController') (yes,
i'm suggesting you extend the ContextTool). If you're interested in
more details on how to do this, let me know. I could outline the
steps for you.
Oh, and if you are loading some of the same data for *all* your
templates, VelocityTools can help there too.
