init

public Object init(InternalContextAdapter context,
 Object data)
            throws TemplateInitException

simple init - init our subtree and get what we can from the AST

Specified by:

init in interface Node

Overrides:

init in class SimpleNode

Parameters:

context -

data -

Returns:

The init result

Throws:

TemplateInitException

• Node.init(org.apache.velocity.context.InternalContextAdapter, java.lang.Object)

execute

public Object execute(Object o,
 InternalContextAdapter context)
               throws MethodInvocationException

invokes the method. Returns null if a problem, the actual return if the method returns something, or an empty string "" if the method returns void
