Hi Chris,
Can you let us know which version of Velocity Tools you're using? I suspect this precise method wouldn't work with the latest dev version as it no longer uses the Velocity Singleton.

Hi Shinobu - thanks again for your help and my apologies for my java ignorance! (RTFM, as they say ;D )
I have added the cparse macro to VM_global_library.vm and added the necessary entry to the toolbox.xml, as described in the maillist archive URL below.
I then called the package com.npg and placed it in /WEB-INF/src/com/npg, saving the file as TemplateExistsTool.java. I also copied over the velocity+commons+avalon logkit source (which I placed in /WEB-INF/src/org/apache etc...). I did this attempting to follow instructions of compiling java packages on this web page: http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/java/packages.html. The compile seemed to go fine, creating TemplateExistsTool.class. I left this file in the same folder as the source file, and placed a copy of it in /WEB-INF/classes.
Finally, I restarted Tomcat.
However, the #cparse instruction is not working for some reason which I am unable to diagnose so far :(
Being new to Java and Velocity, I'm probably missing something very obvious!
If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be extremely grateful.
My thanks once again for your help,
Kind regards,
Chris
I would like to use the #cparse (silent parse) command which is described
here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-velocity-user/200406.mbox/% [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I understand the bit about adding to toolbox.xml, but what do I have to
do with the other bits of code described there (concerning package and macro)?
The package can be anything you want. As for the macros, check out the
user guide. VM_global_library.vm should be a good place to put it. http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/user-guide.html#Velocimacros
