All,
I'm starting a completely new project based upon v7.1.1 and I'd like to
use both Velocity and the Velocity Tools as well.
I have a *very* simple "hello world" style application with a do-nothing
action and a test Velocity template.
I can confirm that Velocity is running because I have a few #if
predicates in there and they aren't rendering as literals, but I think
I'm not getting the toolbox loaded.
With a simple tools.xml file like this, I'm able to see that
$date.format("yyyy-MM-dd") will render a date:
<tools>
<toolbox scope="request">
<tool class="org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.DateTool"/>
</toolbox>
</tools>
If I change the scope from "request" to "application", the DateTool is
no longer available to the request. Is this expected? I'm coming from a
Struts 1 and VelocityView background where the tools are initialized and
inserted into the various scopes automatically.
I have a handful of tools that don't need to be instantiated once for
every request and I'd prefer to keep a single instance of them in the
application scope. Is that possible without writing a
ServletContextListener and manually-injecting things into the
application scope?
