add object to the context for all templates?

[phillip rhodes <rh...@telerama.com>]

Hello.
I want to have an object that will be available in all of my velocity templates.  I know I can add this object in each of my individual screen files via doBuildTemplate()
Or subclass my screen and call super.doBuildTemplate()

Is there another way?

Thanks,
Phillip

Hi,

Check out the Pull Model HOWTO, the "Push vs Pull" discussion, and the Pull
Service documentation for the TDK.

The basic strategy is to make your object into a Tool (check the Java doc
for ApplicationTool) and then define it in TurbineResources.properties as a
tool of global, session, or request scope.

Then you can access it in any Velocity template as $myTool or whatever.

Thanks,
Jeff
