In 1.3, the context was created in the velocity servlet, so you could extend the servlet and add your own context items by overriding the create context method. Now, the context is created by a static call to a VelocityManager helper class. The way it's organized, it's not easy to extend the velocity servlet to add custom items to the context. The createContext method is static and is called internally by webwork (not just in the servlet, if I recall). A better solution would be to either refactor it so that the servlet is still creating the context (perhaps with a call to the static method still), and do it in such a way that it would be easy to subclass the servlet class and stick some additional items onto the context. OR, the velocity manager could be an instance variable of the server, the createContext method would be an instance method of that manager (rather than a static call), and the manager class itself could be set by adding a servlet init param. In this case, you'd extend the VelocityManager rather than the servlet, which might be a better solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
