Hi Jose Alberto,
please look at my comment in this thread and to the "[PROPOSAL] syntax update in
Velocimacros" in this list.
I think we should join up to patch VL:
1. add a ASTMacro node to the parser.
The signature of a ASTMacro is a $reference() without dots
indicating its not accessing a method, and with brakets
indicating it's not accessing the implicit toString method.
2. add a #define directive (to not clash with the #macro one)
that populates the context with a Macro object which
takes an array of parameters during ASTMacro merging.
3. Add a ContextFactory class (should be then integrated in
Runtime.java) which loads the global and local #define
templates (configurable) and clones the local context upon
each request (local contexts come to life by taking a cloned
global one and merging-in the local #define templates).
This would solve the globality and life-span of macro's (now
called defines!).
Jose, write me directly to coordinate the implementation. I'm
going to first try to solve the introspection issue not finding
some methods...
[OT] Jos�, si tu quieres podemos hablar en espa�ol?
Anyone else interested on this pattern? Please vote for it!
:) Christoph
