[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-81?page=all ] Will Glass-Husain resolved VELOCITY-81: ---------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid Hi, Apologies for responding to such a long ago bug. This might have been a problem earlier, but as of Version 1.4 this appears to be fine. chop is only used by Anakia (not Texen) and it is never passed a string with an EOL. > org.apache.velocity.util.StringUtils.chop(String s, int i, String eol) > assumes too much about EOL string > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: VELOCITY-81 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-81 > Project: Velocity > Type: Bug > Components: Source > Versions: 1.3-rc1 > Environment: Operating System: Windows XP > Platform: PC > Reporter: Neeme Praks > Fix For: 1.5 > > I'm running Velocity with Texen under WinXP/cygwin/SunJDK1.3.1_02-b02 > When I try to generate my pages, I get the following exception: > org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of > method 'chop' in class org.apache.velocity.util.StringUtils threw exception > class java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException : null > I've traced this back to the source code and found out that the reason for > this exception is most probably the fact that Velocity assumes that the > templates it is working with are written with the same EOL combination that > is > the default for the platform that it is running on. > So, to give you an example, I have templates that have Unix-style linebreaks > in them and I'm executing Velocity on Windows machine with those templates. > This breaks the whole thing down. > Workaround? Convert your linebreaks or replace your chop method with this: > public static String chop(String s, int i, String eol) > { > char[] sa = s.toCharArray(); > int length = sa.length; > length -= i; > return new String(sa, 0, length); > } > This will of course break the system, if you have windows-style linebreaks. > So, maybe you can come up with some more elegant fix for this problem? :-) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
