RE: Spam:[OS-webwork] WW2 Actions Velocity Result - getters called multiple?

You could bind it into a different name above the for loop and use that other name... this should make it only call the getter once.

Subject: Spam:[OS-webwork] WW2 Actions Velocity Result - getters called multiple?

is is the normal case that an Actions getXXX() method is called every time a velocity-result template uses the $XXX variable?

 

if my action has a method, say HashMap getLabelsForType() and it is used in velocity result like

 

#foreach ($type in $types)

    <td> $labelsForType.get($type) </td>

#end

 

the method getLabelsForType is called for every iteration of the foreach loop. I tought the returned HashMap of getLabelsForType() is

put into the velocity context before rendering and thats it...

 

is that my mistake or is there a deeper sense???

 

thanx in advance,

Hans
