I started using EscapeTool today (since it was far more comprehensive that my primitive and misnamed URLEncoder tool), and noticed that it only took String arguments.
So if I had did $esc.html($value) and value wasn't a String, I got '$esc.html($value)' returned as a literal. In general, should Velocity tools that operate on a String operate on an Object instead and perform a object.toString() conversion first? Or at least provide Object argument wrapper methods to call the String argument methods? Obviously, I can easily subclass EscapeTool even if no one else agrees with me and add "public String html(Object object)"-like methods, but I'm curious what we consider to be best-practices.... -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
