Re: Creating objects in template using "new" keyword
(moving to velocity-dev from velocity-user)
Just a quick note:
I'm not sure we should encourage people to call Class.newInstance() or
getClassLoader() in a velocity template. I'd like to see this capability go
away (or at least be prevented by default in the future). Seems
counterproductive to encourage users to rely on it. (although I appreciate
that Shinobu's note emphasized the alternatives).
Best,
WILL

agreed. in fact, i'd like to see us not encourage or support the
creation of arbitrary classes within templates *at all.* that's why
ToolLoader is deprecated and will soon be abolished entirely. if
people want to provide their own tools to hang themselves, that's
fine. but i'd rather not see Velocity or VelocityTools helping them
out.
