Veltag and tools
Hello,
I'm trying to use Veltag in my JSP page. My code for velocity in my
JSP page look like this (first two lines for vel test - works):
<vel:velocity>
#if (true) true #end
#if (!false) & false #end
<br>
$date.get("yyyy-M-d H:m:s")
</vel:velocity>
my output is:
true & false
$date.get("yyyy-M-d H:m:s")
so, $date.get("yyyy-M-d H:m:s") is not evaluated, this line works if I
use it with *.vm page. When using Veltag in JSP I get also error in
log file:
2005-11-10 13:25:43 org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: Velocity [warn] org.apache.velocity.runtime.exception.ReferenceException: reference : template = JSP for me! [line 5,column 11] : $date.get("yyyy-M-d H:m:s") is not a valid reference.
my tool config look like this:
<tool>
<key>date</key>
<scope>application</scope>
<class>org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.DateTool</class>
</tool>
I'am quite sure that I can't use any velocity tool im my JSP.
Anybody can help me?
Michal

Accessing the resource via:
"$text.admin.form.date.arrival"
worked like a charm! And thanks for the tip!
Cheers,
David

good way to go.

hmm. wish i had thought of that use case some time ago. this isn't
due to any change in DateTool. it's because of a change in
MessageTool. $text.get('foo') no longer returns a string. it returns
a TextKey to allow shorthand use like
$text.admin.form.date.arrival.format
sorry about that. we should probably change tool methods that accept
strings to accept Objects and just do String.valueOf() on them. i'll
make a note to do this before 1.3 is out.
> Does anyone know of a work around?
you should be able to do:
$date.format("$text.admin.form.date.arrival", $order.arrivalTime,
$request.locale)
or at least
$date.format($text.admin.form.date.arrival.toString(),
$order.arrivalTime, $request.locale)
and just as a tangential tip, if you will be retrieving a lot of date
format strings from your message resources on that page, you can
simplify things a bit by doing things like:
#set( $format = $text.admin.form.date )
and then
$date.format("$format.arrival", $order.arrivalTime, $request.locale)
$date.format("$format.departure", $order.departureTime, $request.locale)

velocity-tools-1.1 to 1.2 upgrade and the date tool
Posted by David Sperling <zz...@yahoo.com>.
Hi-
In version 1.1 in velocity-tools I used to pull the
date format String from a resource bundle. This was
nice because it let me put the date in month, day,
year order for US English and year, month, day order
for Japanese. Here is the code that I used:
$date.format(
$text.get("admin.form.date.arrival.format"),
$order.arrivalTime, $request.getLocale() )
but now with version 1.2 of velocity-tools, the
call to get the date format in this statement:
$text.get("admin.form.date.arrival.format")
isn't being executed from within the date tool format
method like it did in version 1.1.
Does anyone know of a work around?

Re: Veltag and tools
Posted by Nathan Bubna <nb...@gmail.com>.
Veltag and VelocityTools have not yet been made to work together.
this is something we plan to do after we get velocity tools 1.2
released.
however, i have talked over how to integrate the two of them before.
read the messages in this thread for complete instructions:
