Building under Windows XP

[Robert Lee <Ro...@rcn.com>]

As part of generating Velocity from the TDK. I made the following changes to
the build.xml in the webapps\xxx\WEB-INF\build directory.
<target name="set-windows2000" depends="set-windowsXP" if="isWindows 2000">
	<property name="is.Windows" value="true"/>
</target>
<target name="set-windowsXP" if="isWindows XP">
	property name="is.Windows" value="true"/>
</target>

Have other people been doing this or is there a better way?

"Quiet", as in "shhhhhh"

Yes, the documentation is wrong. I'fix that. Thanks for the report!

This problem can be avoided if you use the "Quite Reference Notation".
Search the user guide http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/user-guide.html#References
for this term.

You would write it this way:

Random Number = $!reqParser.getString($request,"RandomNumber")


Hope this helps

[VelTool - Velocity Library] ParameterParser Issues

[Jeff Duska <Je...@noaa.gov>]

The source code and the documenation seem to be out of sync.

The documenation suggest using the following for the Toolbox.xml file.

<tool>
   <key>reqParser</key>
   <class>org.apache.velocity.tools.tools.RequestParser</class>
</tool>

This doesn't work since the the class file is called ParameterParser. 
I'm not sure what you want to change. I changed the <class> element to

<class>org.apache.velocity.tools.tools.ParameterParser</class>

I was able to get my code to work, but I wasn't happy with one thing. I 
have the following line of VLT in my page.

Random Number = $reqParser.getString($request,"RandomNumber")

I pass RandomNumber in URL like productpurchase?RandomNumber=12341234. I 
surprised that when I don't pass in RandomNumber at all it causes an 
error and the VLT code is shown. I was expecting nothing to display. Am 
I misunderstanding how Velocity handles this?

Here is the error out of the log file
org.apache.velocity.runtime.exception.ReferenceException: reference : 
template = /productpurchase.vm [line 3,column 17] : 
$reqParser.getString($request,"RandomNumber") is not a valid reference.

Regards,

Jeff
