Hi, Michael,
What did you pass in to the velocity context? I think it should be:
ctx.put("needMoreInfo", "Y");
Or, You could set it in another way in your java code:
ctx.put("needMoreInfo", Boolean.TRUE);
Then, in the Velocity template, you will put:
#if ($needMoreInfo)
<img src="images/needmoreinfo.gif">
#else
<img src="images/1x1.gif">
#end
Cheers,
Jian
