Yeek :) We'll find it...

That's verboten in our system right now. It's supposed to be that a meeting
state determines when its transcript gets mailed to the participants. When
the state is "wrapped", no new events are allowed to enter the meeting. All
of my tests show that this is indeed true. But considering that the system
is over 700 classes with more than 125,000 lines of code, I may have missed
something.

Re: Velocity exits foreach loop in macro unpredictably,
Posted by "Geir Magnusson Jr." <ge...@optonline.net>.
Code good!
What I am wondering is if when one thread is iterating through the
collection gotten from
#macro( drawStandardTextTranscript $meeting )
#foreach( $event in $meeting.getAllEvents() )
is another thread is modifying the collection, screwing up the iterator?
That's why I asked about what the getAllEvents() returns...
