Hi,
I think this is a simple question ... although I could be having one of those
winter, late-afternoon brain-dead moments ...
Whereabouts exactly are tool class instances kept once they have been
initialized when using VelocityView and toolbox.xml? In other words, from where
and how does one obtain a reference to that tool instance (in another class,
not in a template)?
For example, if I have a custom directive and want to retrieve a previously
initialized instance of an application-scope tool, how would I do this?
Initially I thought that this would be achieved in the following way:
in the toolbox:
<tool>
<key>myTool</key>
<scope>application</scope>
<class>com.foo.MyReallyGroovyTool</class>
</tool>
in a directive:
public CustomDirective extends InputBase {
...
public void init(RuntimeServices rsvc, InternalContextAdapter context, Node
node) throws TemplateInitException {
MyReallGroovyTool tool = (MyReallyGroovyTool) context.get("myTool");
}
...
}
but now I'm thinking this is not correct (and trying this way fails) ...
Cheers,
Chris
