Vitaly Baranovsky commented on JS2-584:
---------------------------------------

So, how about this issue? Is it planned for developing?

I think, this feature is very useful, because it's only the way to extend functionality in view tier. As far as I know, there is no another way to use utility classes in velocity templates of portal. 

So, if I need extend velocity templates with my own classes, I need recompile org.apache.jetspeed.velocity.JetspeedVelocityViewServlet. But recompiling jetspeed sources isn't a good way.



When need someone such feature? For example, I need my own title and meta-description of portal pages. It's very critical for our company.

There is discussion about this: http://www.nabble.com/How-can-I-programmatically-set-my-own-title-of-portal-pages--tf2311799.html

> Objects are added to Jetspeed's Velocity context in Template handleRequest(HttpServletRequest HttpServletResponse, Context) of a JetspeedVelocityViewServlet class. If one needs some additional custom classes in Velocity, there's a need to put them in the context programatically and then recompile the portal component (and restart Jetspeed). Additg such objects with something like Spring assembly would be very useful and flexible.
