Class Include

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, DirectiveConstants

    public class Include
    extends InputBase

    Pluggable directive that handles the #include() statement in VTL. This #include() can take multiple arguments of either StringLiteral or Reference.

    Notes:

    1. For security reasons, the included source material can only come from somewhere within the template root tree. If you want to include content from elsewhere on your disk, add extra template roots, or use a link from somwehere under template root to that content.
    2. By default, there is no output to the render stream in the event of a problem. You can override this behavior with two property values : include.output.errormsg.start include.output.errormsg.end If both are defined in velocity.properties, they will be used to in the render output to bracket the arg string that caused the problem. Ex. : if you are working in html then include.output.errormsg.start=<!-- #include error : include.output.errormsg.end= --> might be an excellent way to start...
    3. As noted above, #include() can take multiple arguments. Ex : #include('foo.vm' 'bar.vm' $foo) will include all three if valid to output without any special separator.
