Re: Functions

Depends what you need.

Take a look at # macros if the only output from the function is generated text.

Otherwise, the way to do this is to create a new tool (which is any
java class with a zero-arg constructor aka POJO) and add it to your
toolkit (covered in the other thread and a bit complicated in your
case).  But the tool itself is as trivial as it sounds.

class FooTool {
      public Integer barFunction(Object x, String y, List z) {
           // return Integer.valueOf(...);
      }
}

Assuming FooTool is registered under tool name "foo", then use this in
your template.

${foo.barFunction(x, y, z)}

Look at the existing velocity tools (like math) if you need more examples.
