That's really odd. Especially if the other tools are being init'ed. I'm not sure what would cause this, as i don't use Spring's Velocity support much. But, out of curiousity, what version of Spring and what version of VelocityTools?
Also, try putting a log out into your local copy of BrowserSnifferTool's default constructor just to make sure that it is that class that is being instantiated. On 3/20/07, Charles Harvey III <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello. This might be a question for the Spring list but I will try here first. It seems that the BrowserSnifferTool.init( Object o ) method is not getting called upon the start of my webapp. So when I do $browser.getIe() I get a NullPointerException. This is because the userAgent is never set in the init() method. Here is the setup: web.xml: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <servlet> <servlet-name>app</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>10</load-on-startup> </servlet> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- app-servlet.xml: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityLayoutViewResolver"> <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityLayoutView"/> <property name="cache" value="true"/> <property name="prefix" value="/app"/> <property name="suffix" value=".vm"/> <property name="exposeRequestAttributes" value="true"/> <property name="exposeSessionAttributes" value="true"/> <property name="exposeSpringMacroHelpers" value="true"/> <property name="layoutUrl" value="/layouts/default_layout.vm"/> <property name="toolboxConfigLocation" value="/WEB-INF/toolbox.xml"/> </bean> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- toolbox.xml: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <tool> <key>browser</key> <scope>request</scope> <class>org.apache.velocity.tools.view.tools.BrowserSnifferTool</class> </tool> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every other tool seems to work but this one. I don't get it. There is a: private String userAgent = null; in BrowserSnifferTool and it gets called by almost every method. Thing is, it stays null because init( Object o ) is never called. I copied BrowserSnifferTool to my project and put log statements into the init() method, just to make sure it was getting called - no dice. Any ideas on this are much appreciated.
