Re: Macro stays put

Hi Shinobu,

I already looked at the configuration
options and none of them solve this problem (atleast, not to my knowledge).
   

Oooh, you should have mentioned that on your first post.  :)
 

Yeah, I know. I sometimes forget to mention that I actually did attempt 
to solve the problem before asking a question :)

The problem is a bit with the call-back mechanism. If I set the property
velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.local.scope on true the behaviour
changes, it never loads it at all...
   

Makes sense, because the local macros won't be visible to invokeX.html.
 

Yeah. So I noticed :) I already guessed it from the description, but 
there was a small hope that maybe the macro loaded from the global macro 
could actually invoke the local... and making the scope local would make 
sure the new #x overwrote the old #x .. unfortunately even though it 
might have, I could never reach it, so it had no use...

Try setting velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.to.replace.global to
true.  This will let each call overwrite the previous macro
definition. You'll also have to turn caching off.
 

Yeah, that worked! but I'm not entirely sure whether I'm happy about 
turning cache off.... after all, cache is kinda handy in a production 
environment. In theory I could of course store this macro in a separate 
directory, pointing another resource loader with cache off towards.. the 
loading it with a #parse statement in the main page... but that would 
make it just that bit more complicated.

The funky thing is that if I turn cache on and change global.html (see 
previous posting)  to this:

#macro(invokeX)
   Global: #x() <br />
  #parse("invokeX.html")
#end
The global macro invokes the correct #x on te correct page, but the 
invokeX.html doesn't. I don't know how velocity's cache works but I 
don't understand why #x is bound to invokeX. If it wasn't this should 
work properly, right?

Thanks,
Vincent
