toolbox.xml
Hi,
I am having difficulty loading custom tools using
toolbox. Basically I have a simple java class that
performs some action and am attempting to load it on
start-up. The reference is not getting processed. All
help is appreciated.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<toolbox>
<!-- other tools
...
...
-->
<tool>
<key>airportTools</key>
<scope>application</scope>
<class>package.AirportTools</class>
</tool>
</toolbox>
template:
$airportTools.getHciForArtcc($ARTCC_ID)

It is not enough information to determine where problem is. Provide
your class and probably some errors which you got. But probably you
should try to make your class public.

please use the mailing list for questions so that others can both help
answer them and learn from them.
and yes, if you are processing templates apart from the
VelocityViewServlet and wish to have the same toolbox as though you
are using the VVS, then you must use the Context created by the
VelocityViewServlet's createContext() method or one much like it.
however, accessing the VVS's createContext() method in a Struts Action
is likely to be difficult, if not impossible. so, you will probably
need to spend some time understanding how the VelocityViewServlet sets
up the toolbox and creates its special Context.
here's a quick guide to it, and then i must get on with my work for the day...
in your Struts Action:
1. get the right toolbox manager using ServletToolboxManager.getInstance(...)
2. in your action, mimic what VelocityViewServlet.createContext(...)
does to create your context.
3. use that context to process your templates in the Struts Action
good luck.

Re: toolbox.xml
Posted by Nathan Bubna <nb...@gmail.com>.
ok, so you are using the VelocityViewServlet directly, not a subclass.
so what class is your initVelocity() method in? and how is it being called?
it looks to me like you are having the VelocityViewServlet process the
welcome.vm page, but then using something else with this
initVelocity() method to process the runway.vm file. if you want
your tools to be available, you should use a Context that has been
created by the createContext() method of the VelocityViewServlet when
processing runway.vm.

provide a link to user to initiate processing. This
action will call the initVelocity() (see below) and
will start loading data into velocityContext. It is at
this time that I get ReferenceException.

Re: toolbox.xml
Posted by Nathan Bubna <nb...@gmail.com>.
so, you are using a subclass of VelocityViewServlet, right? what
version of VelocityTools are you using? are you getting any relevant
error messages in your logs?
i'm not sure i understand what you mean when you say the tools are
available on start-up, but not later. what do your logs say at
startup? what do they say later?
overriding initVelocity() should not affect the context that is
created. what are you doing with the velocityContext object you are
creating and why are you creating it when you initialize your velocity
engine? that doesn't seem appropriate to me. if you must mess with
the context, it is best to do so when overriding the createContext()
method. are you overriding createContext()?

Re: toolbox.xml
Posted by "M. Hossein Amerkashi" <kk...@yahoo.com>.
Thx for replies.
Class / method are public. Using velocity with struts.
My app is a code generator. On start-up, tools are
available, but later are not. Reason is that I do
initVelocity (see below) which resets the Context.
What needs to be done? Do I need to do context
chaining?
Thanks
private static void initVelocity() throws Exception {
if (velocityEngine == null) {
velocityContext = new VelocityContext();
Properties velocityProps = new
Properties();
velocityEngine = new VelocityEngine();
InputStream inputStream =
Engine.class.getResourceAsStream(Constants.VELOCITY_PEROPERTIES_FILE);
velocityProps.load(inputStream);
velocityEngine.init(velocityProps);
}
}

as Stas said, make sure that both your tool class and the methods you
wish to call from the template are declared public.
and yeah, more info would be nice. are you using the
VelocityViewServlet? are you sure your toolbox.xml is being read?
