>Hi Chris, >perhaps I am mistaken but even in Velocity 1.5 dev, you can't find the length of an array with $array.length so your length (in velocity) is probably null > >I use an object which I put in my velocity context to get the length of an array >I found something similar in the velocity mailling archive before I wrote the class above. >Then in velocity, if you give the class the name arrayUtil, you call it that way.. > >$arrayUtil.length($linkMultiArray) > >this will return the good length >I hope it helps >Jean-Francois Chamard thanks - I really need to find a way to do this using only standard public class methods (+ the usual velocity tools) would it be possible to find the last element in an array using the size method of the ArrayList class?
