[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-437) Intercept output of objects

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-437?page=comments#action_12374039 ] 

Will Glass-Husain commented on VELOCITY-437:
--------------------------------------------

Kind of a neat idea.  Modifying ASTReference directly is the way to go -- we ignore all Node files generated by jjtree.

Can you give a use case or two explaining why this feature is useful?  Are you using this in your own apps?  How?

> Currently, all reference objects in a Velocity template file are put out using the objects toString method, with no means to control this mechanism. I propose to change this by having interceptors that can pick up variables before they are run .toString on, and write them using their own means instead.
> If I figure out how to attach files to this after posting, I will add a patch with all the code necessary to implement this.
