Re: Simple Velocity question

Hi Thomas,

Unfortunately you need to use a Velocity nightly build
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12537.html
or to write a simple Action (js, bsh, python or pure Java) to add a Map to=
=20
your page action, something like:

Map myMap =3D new HashMap();

...

myMap.put("keyA", "value A");
...

context.put("myMap", myMap);
...


And then use it in your html page:
....
A simple value from my map: $myMap.get("keyA")<br>
...
and so on.

I am sorry there is no a direct fix yet to the problem you mentioned. But=20
reading the mail thread I posted above, this will be soon fixed by the=20
Velocity team.

Sincerely,
-Florin
