|
|
Change the scoping behavior of Velocity, keeping it optional (everything global scoped by default) but now providing an explicit namespace in content-containing directives (like macros, #foreach, #parse, etc.) in which references that should stay local may be kept. This is accompanied by numerous related changes, including: <ul> <li>A Scope reference can now be automatically made available within each content directive: <ul> <li>$template in Template.merge and #parse content<li> <li>$macro in #macro</li> <li>$foreach in #foreach</li> <li>$evaluate in #evaluate or Velocity.evaluate(...) content</li> <li>$define in #define</li> <li>$<amacro> in #@<amacro> (where <amacro> is the name of a macro being called with a body)</li> </ul> </li> <li>For performance and compatibility these are all off by default, *except* for $foreach. The others may be enabled by setting a velocity property like: <br/><code>macro.provide.scope.control = true</code></li> <li>When scopes of the same type are nested make the parent Scope available through the child (e.g. $foreach.parent or $foreach.topmost).</li> <li>When a Scope reference overrides an existing reference that is not a Scope, make it available through the Scope (e.g. $foreach.replaced).</li> <li>Made #break work in any of the above scopes to exit the most immediate one, unless a different scope is provided as an argument (e.g. #break($macro) or #break($foreach.topmost)).</li> <li>Deprecated $velocityCount; please use $foreach.count or $foreach.index.</li> <li>Deprecated $velocityHasNext; please use $foreach.hasNext, $foreach.first or $foreach.last</li> <li>Deprecated velocimacro.context.localscope setting; please get/set local #macro references as members of the provided $macro scope control instead. (e.g. #set( $macro.foo = 'bar' ) and $macro.foo ).</li> <li>Deprecated directive.evaluate.context.class setting; please get/set local #evaluate references as members of the provided $evaluate scope control instead. (e.g. #set( $evaluate.foo = 'bar' ) and $evaluate.foo ).</li> </ul> All of the deprecated features will be removed in Velocity 2.0. Fixes VELOCITY-704. | nbubna |
|
|
Calling #set on a macro argument (for which a #set-able reference was passed) will no longer propagate the new value to the original reference, but merely set the value of the macro argument reference. This was an obscure, infrequently used feature and was decided to be more problematic and unpredictable than useful. Fixes VELOCITY-681. | nbubna |
|
|
In strict mode attempts to render references that evaluate to null will throw an exception. In the user wishes to suppress the exception and render nothing then the reference can be preceeded with '$!' as in $!foo. Fixes VELOCITY-688. | byron |
|
|
The non default VelocityEngine construtors now do not initialize the runtime system so that properties may be set after construction. Also fixes an Initialization race condition. Fixes VELOCITY-673. | byron |
|
|
Make velocimacro.arguments.strict=true work with block macros. Fixes VELOCITY-685. Thanks to Jarkko Viinamäki. | nbubna |
|
|
Added a property for changing escape behavior such that putting a forward slash before a reference or macro always escapes the reference or macro and absorbs the forward slash regardless if the reference or macro is defined. Fixes VELOCITY-623. | byron |
|
|
Fix StringIndexOutOfBoundsException caused by #[[##x]]# (line comment on same line as end of textblock). Fixes VELOCITY-676. Thanks to Jarkko Viinamäki. | nbubna |
|
|
Fix NPE caused by #@foo (w/o #end) in template. Fixes VELOCITY-675. Thanks to Jarkko Viinamäki. | nbubna |
|
|
Minor performance tweaks based on Findbugs findings Fixes VELOCITY-668. Thanks to Jarkko Viinamäki. | byron |
|
|
Pre 1.6 behavior of specifying #macro without parenthesis would throw a VelocityException has been restored. Fixes VELOCITY-667. | byron |
|
|
Add support for calling velocimacros with body content by prefixing the macro name with @. (e.g. #macro( bold )<strong>$bodyContent</strong>#end #@bold()any valid VTL here#end) The $bodyContent reference may be renamed via a velocimacro.body.reference setting in your velocity.properties. Fixes VELOCITY-666. Thanks to Jarkko Viinamaki. | nbubna |
|
|
Added #[[this is included in output but not parsed]]# syntax to replace and deprecate the much more limited #literal directive (which required parse-able content). Fixes VELOCITY-661. Thanks to Jarkko Viinamaki. | nbubna |
|
|
Re-implement #stop so that it stops template execution and rendering. This Also addresses a performance bottleneck detected in the old implementation. #stop is a general use directive now, and not just for debugging. Fixes VELOCITY-663. | byron |
|
|
Reduce performance bottleneck with the referenceInsert event handler call Fixes VELOCITY-662. | byron |
|
|
Better error reporting when toString() throw an exception when testing an #if conditional. For example #if($foo) Fixes VELOCITY-656. | byron |
|
|
Added bracketed index syntax, $foo[0], or #set($foo[0] = 1) Fixes VELOCITY-406. | byron |
|
|
Removed java.lang.Exception from throws clause of Velocity and VelocityEngine API. Also removed IOException so that all method calls use unchecked exceptions. Fixes VELOCITY-659. | byron |
|
|
Removed obsolete WebMacro conversion tool and experimental Veltag (which has been replaced by VelocityViewTag from VelocityTools). | nbubna |

| Type | Changes | By |
|---|---|---|
|
|

|
|
Fix regression in proxying of macro argument #set calls. Note that in 1.7, calling #set on a macro argument (for which a #set-able reference was passed) will not propagate the new value to the original reference, but merely set the value of the macro argument reference.

| Numerous improvements to the documentation. Reorganized table of contents, moved community content to the Wiki, added article on using Velocity in web applications. Fixes . Thanks to . | wglass | |
| When testing objects in VTL for equality, if both objects are a number, use number equality. If both objects are the same class, use the equals method. New behavior: If objects are different classes, compare the String representation of both objects rather than logging an error. Fixes VELOCITY-350. Thanks to . | wglass | |
|
|
Velocity would give error when last line of file was a ## comment. Fixes VELOCITY-272. Thanks to . | wglass |
| Added method to retrieve application attributes. Fixes VELOCITY-412. Thanks to Malcolm Edgar. | wglass | |
| Velocity now searches in the current thread's context classloader before the system classloader for all templates loaded with the ClasspathResourceLoader and for all user-defined ResourceLoaders, introspectors, event handlers, etc. A typical use for this is to have Velocity in the application container classpath while keeping templates and plugins in the webapp classpath. Fixes VELOCITY-196. Thanks to . | wglass | |
| #set now sets references to null when required. For backwards compatibility this must be enabled by setting the configuration key <code>directive.set.null.allowed</code> to true. Fixes . Thanks to Thomas Veith. | wglass | |

| Throw Runtime exceptions from nodes up the chain. Fixes VELOCITY-424. Thanks to Malcom Edgar. | henning | |
| Revert the split between org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.Node and org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.Node. The parser now only uses ...parser.node.Node because this change broke custom directives. Fixes VELOCITY-426. Thanks to Malcom Edgar. | henning | |
| Made a lot of internal logging upgrades including: Deprecated LogSystem interface and replaced it (and all its implementations) with a new LogChute interface and implementations, added getLog() to RuntimeServices (and all its friends) to improve on and replace its now deprecated logging methods, added a JdkLogChute as a 3rd default option for those using JDK 1.4+, and added a StandardOutLogChute as final resort if other LogChute inits fail. See JIRA issues VELOCITY-403, VELOCITY-166, VELOCITY-403,VELOCITY-166,VELOCITY-78, VELOCITY-157, VELOCITY-159, VELOCITY-193. Fixes VELOCITY-403. Thanks to . | nbubna | |

|
|
Added support for decimal numbers. Fixes VELOCITY-242. Thanks to Peter Romianowski. | wglass |

| DatasourceResourceLoader now allows injection of Datasource, allowing it to be used in Inversion of Control (IOC) frameworks. Fixes VELOCITY-267. Thanks to Matt Raible . | wglass | |
|
|
#stop now works properly. Fixes VELOCITY-218. Thanks to . | wglass |
| ClasspathResourceLoader now searches ContextClassLoader for template. Fixes VELOCITY-196. Thanks to Charles Oliver Nutter. | wglass | |
| Removed use of <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">Log4J's</a> deprecated Category and Priority classes in favor of the corresponding and supported Logger and Level.

|
|
New Map literal syntax. Fixes VELOCITY-152. Thanks to James Taylor. | wglass |
| Removed the long-deprecated Log4JLogSystem. Never fear, SimpleLog4JLogSystem remains. Fixes . Thanks to . | dlr | |
| Enhanced the implementation of ResourceCacheImpl using Jakarta Commons Collections LRUMap class. The previous greedy implementation did not set an upper bound for the cache size, meaning that cached resources were never relinquished (a possible memory leak). You can continue to use that behavior by setting the <code>resource.manager.cache.size</code> for your cache to less than 1. Fixes . Thanks to . | dlr | |
| Took dan's modified SimpleLog4jLogSystem, and renamed Log4JLogSystem, and put back old version of SimpleLog4JLogSystem, as deprecated. That way we can move forward with an up-to-date version that uses Logger, and for one release, be backwards compatile for the Category-using log4j crowd. Fixes . Thanks to Daniel Rall. | geirm | |
| Deprecated org.apache.velocity.tools.VelocityFormatter class in favor of the various format classes in the Velocity Tools library. Fixes . Thanks to . | wglass | |
| Deprecated the org.apache.velocity.servlet.VelocityServlet class in favor of org.apache.velocity.tools.view.servlet.VelocityViewServlet from the Velocity Tools library. Servlet interaction is more a core competency of the Velocity Tools package than of Velocity's core. Fixes . Thanks to . | dlr | |
|
|
