How to get Velocity Context References in VT?

["Heine, Christian (Extern)" <Ch...@gedas.de>]

Hi all,

i am try to develop an own Velocity-Portlet based Portal by Jetspeed. Now i
making my first steps in Velocity. For that i've created my first
VelocityPortletAction :

import org.apache.jetspeed.modules.actions.portlets.VelocityPortletAction;
import org.apache.jetspeed.portal.portlets.VelocityPortlet;
import org.apache.turbine.util.RunData;
import org.apache.velocity.context.Context;

public class MyPortletAction
extends VelocityPortletAction
{

  public MyPortletAction() {
  }

  protected void buildNormalContext(VelocityPortlet portlet, Context
context,
                                    RunData data)
  {
    String text = "Run Portlet run";
    context.put("myfoo", text);
    context.put("velo", "Halligalli");

    //this.doPerform(data, context);
  }
}

I've put this action in the following directory :
org.apache.jetspeed.modules.actions.portlets

After the registration for that Portlet in Portlet.xreg i've creat an own
testPortlet.vm
and placed it in the correct directory. (It works because i see a hello
String placed in that VT).

The Problem i have is that i couldn't use the references to the Context like
in that way:
$myfoo, $velo .... 

What is my failure? Must i registry my Java Class in the Turbine Ressources?
I've tried that by this way :

    tools.request.myVar =
org.apache.jetspeed.modules.actions.portlets.MyPortletAction

But when i do that, jetspeed will not start and throws an torque
Exception...

Thanks for any help in advance,
Christian
