RE: macros calling macros - the answer

[Robert Douglass <r....@onlinehome.de>]

It was a type conversion problem.

#macro( hyperlink $hyperlinkId)
####### THIS WORKS WHEN toString() IS CALLED
#set($hyperlinkDoc = $dataBase.getDocument($hyperlinkId.toString()))
$linkDoc
#end

I'm really sorry if the answer to this is in the mail archive, but I
couldn't find it.

#macro( hyperlink $hyperlinkId)
####### THIS SET DOESN'T WORK WHEN CALLED FROM NAVIGATION
#set($linkDoc = $dataBase.getDocument($hyperlinkId))
$linkDoc
#end

#macro( navigation $widgetId)
#set($navdoc = $dataBase.getDocument($widgetId))
#set($hyperlinks = $navdoc.applyDocumentPath('Hyperlinks'))
#foreach( $link in $hyperlinks )
#hyperlink($link.getIdValue())
#end
#end

I call #hyperlink from within #navigation. The variable $hyperlinkId and the
variable $dataBase are both right, but the line #set($linkDoc =
$dataBase.getDocument($hyperlinkId)) doesn't result in a method call. When I
call hyperlink directly, it works fine. Is can't be a type-conversion
problem -- getDocument(String id) -- as I use the same syntax elsewhere, so
I figure it must be a scoping/context problem. I've read the documentation,
and I've been on and off of this list for half a year, but alas, I just
don't understand.

Thanks in advance,

Robert Douglass

String concatenation

[Guillermo Meyer <gm...@sib.interbanking.com.ar>]

I have a Velocity template that recives the following parameters:

id
keyValue
res_buttomPath

I want to concatenate some strings to be used in my template:

#set($idImagen = $id)
#set($idImagenBlank = $id"_blank")
#set($idImagenSrc = $id".src")
#set($idImagenBlankSrc = $id"_blank.src")
#set($idImagenSrcValue = $res_buttonPath$keyValue)

But I get the following error:

org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Encountered "\"_blank\""
at line 2, column 26.
Was expecting one of:
<RPAREN> ...
<WHITESPACE> ...
"-" ...
"+" ...
"*" ...
"/" ...
"%" ...
"&&" ...
"||" ...
"<" ...
"<=" ...
">" ...
">=" ...
"==" ...
"!=" ...
<DOT> ...
"=" ...

What am I doing wrong? How do I concatenate 2 Strings?

thanks in advance.
Guillermo.
