I really think that putting some important tools in the velocity context for convenience has not to be too hard to implement in the VelocityManager. Maybe using the toolbox manager from VelocityTools, that was discussed in previous mails. I'm busy but i want to throw a glance on this integration. Richard.

Note: since this is a static method it'd be a bit funky. I really think we need to beef up the velocity support and have items directly in the context. VelocityTools is nice and all, but WebWork should provide a core set no matter what. -Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork
