Injecting properties into Velocity...
Hello
I'm trying to get velocity to use a properties file of mine that has
customized labels. This is so I can call a velocity tag like : #stextfield(
"label='member.username.label'" "name='username'" "size=25") where the label
value would be defined in the properties file.
Is it just a matter of putting the properties into some kind of static
Velocity class somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Carlo

We are using Velocity inside a Turbine application which does the same
thing (Turbine pull tool, however). Does anyone have experience with
managing these resources together with the template files?
We are currently trying to use the GNU gettext tools to keep the
relation between the bundle and the template file but xgettext does not
support the syntax "$l10n.key". Anyone having a better idea?
Bye, Thomas.

You can put a ResourceBundle directly into your context:
context.put("labels", ResourceBundle.getBundle("labels"));
and then do
$labels.getString('username')
or you can put a java.util.Properties in and just use $props.get('username')
or you can use VelocityTools' ResourceTool class. For this, you can
either use the VelocityTools infrastructure to put it into the context
or do something like:
context.put("text", new ResourceTool().bundle("labels"));
and then do
$text.username

Hey Nathan,
I've figured it out... with the tag, using
"label = ... does not work.
"key = ... does work.
I guess it makes sense considering that the 'key' in the properties file is
what I'm trying to access.
Thanks for the help! Now I've got to figure out how to get the old tag
syntax working. Of the form #tag( TextField "label= ... where the label does
correctly lookup the property and the tag gets rendered. Again this use to
work in webwork 1.x

How are you injecting it and how are you using it?

Thanks again,
However injecting the ResrouceBundle into the VelocityContext does not work.
Perhaps it's because "label=.... invokes some special struts / velocity
code?
