ValueParserSub generic getter never worked
------------------------------------------
Key: VELTOOLS-69
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-69
Project: VelocityTools
Issue Type: Bug
Components: VelocityView
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Claude Brisson
(I attach this issue to the VelocityView component but we may need a Generic
component in Jira)
When $query is the ValueParser object for the query string http://...?foo=5,
then $query.foo.int is an invalid reference.
Why? Because there is a collision of variable names in
ValueParserSub.get(Object key).
I profit of this opportunity to state that I really don't like the
ValueParserSub class, because it breaks the "#if($query.foo)" syntax. Hence, it
is not backward compatible. Or at least, it could return null for an unexistant
key.
Is it really usefull to keep it now that Velocity handles conversions much
better? Since obviously nobody used the $query.foo.int feature, it is still
time to remove it... Also, since the need to convert between types can emerge
elsewhere, it would be much cleaner to have a standalone converter object. Yes,
we loose the syntax $query.foo.int, but is it that nice a syntax?
