public class Macro
extends Directive

Macro implements the macro definition directive of VTL. example : #macro( isnull $i ) #if( $i ) $i #end #end This object is used at parse time to mainly process and register the macro. It is used inline in the parser when processing a directive.

Macro

public Macro()
Method Detail

getName

public String getName()
Return name of this directive.

Specified by:
getName in class Directive
Returns:
The name of this directive.

getType

public int getType()
Return type of this directive.

Specified by:
getType in class Directive
Returns:
The type of this directive.

render

public boolean render(InternalContextAdapter context,
                      Writer writer,
                      Node node)
               throws IOException
render() doesn't do anything in the final output rendering. There is no output from a #macro() directive.

Specified by:
render in class Directive
Parameters:
context -
writer -
node -
Returns:
True if the directive rendered successfully.
Throws:
IOException

init

public void init(RuntimeServices rs,
                 InternalContextAdapter context,
                 Node node)
          throws TemplateInitException
Description copied from class: Directive
How this directive is to be initialized.

Overrides:
init in class Directive
Throws:
TemplateInitException

Directive.init(org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeServices, org.apache.velocity.context.InternalContextAdapter, org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.Node)

processAndRegister

public static void processAndRegister(RuntimeServices rs,
                                      Token t,
                                      Node node,
                                      String sourceTemplate)
                               throws IOException,
                                      ParseException
Used by Parser.java to process VMs during the parsing process. This method does not render the macro to the output stream, but rather processes the macro body into the internal representation used by {#link org.apache.velocity.runtime.directive.VelocimacroProxy} objects, and if not currently used, adds it to the macro Factory.

Parameters:
rs -
t -
node -
sourceTemplate -
Throws:
IOException
ParseException

macroToString

public static final StringBuffer macroToString(StringBuffer buf,
                                               String[] argArray)
For debugging purposes. Formats the arguments from argArray and appends them to buf.

Parameters:
buf - A StringBuffer. If null, a new StringBuffer is allocated.
argArray - The Macro arguments to format
Returns:
A StringBuffer containing the formatted arguments. If a StringBuffer has passed in as buf, this method returns it.
Since:
1.5
