multi-line directives (again)
Hi,
I'm trying to get multi-line directives to work in velocity.
Is see the following post from 2002:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=velocity-user@jakarta.apache.org&msgNo=7095
It looks like this feature never made it into velocity.
Why can't I do:
#set( $array =
"foo",
"bar",
"blah" )
or
#set( $notSupported1 = "spanning multiple\
lines")
Is there an approved workaround?
The (ugly) workaround I've been using for now allows me to
break string constants accross multiple lines by embedding velocity
comments and backslashes into them.
Some examples of this:
#set( $sample1 = "the great spa##\
nner") ## note that this line must start on the first column of the file!
or
#set( $sample2 = "I span #*\
*#wide spaces") ## note that the whitespace was in a comment
or
#set( $sample3 = "I span #*\
in a comment here\
*#wider spaces")
Thanks,
-Greg Wolfe

This is in the upcoming v1.5. (not the released 1.4)
The docs on the web site apply to the current source control head. You can
download this with subversion.

Use the docs that came with Velocity 1.4 to see the actual features for
that version. Although the major differences at this point are the
multi-line
directives and the maps.

Hi
Is it just me or declaring a Map variable isn't working?
#set( $monkey.Map = {"banana" : "good", "roast beef" : "bad"}) ## Map
Gives me syntax error.

You've got some bad syntax.
Try
#set( $array =
["foo",
"bar",
"blah"] )
This works with the latest version from the source code server. Anyone
tried this with 1.4?
