Multi-line comments causing ParseException in macros in Velocity engine 1.5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-537 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-537 Project: Velocity Issue Type: Bug Components: Engine Affects Versions: 1.5 Reporter: Christopher Townson Fix For: 1.5.1 Moving from velocity engine 1.4 to 1.5, one of my macros is now causing a ParseException: #macro( makeLink $filepath )#* *##if ($request.serverName.equalsIgnoreCase("www.liveserver.com") || $request.serverName.equalsIgnoreCase("liveserver.com"))#* *##set($mirrorDomain = "livemirror.com")#* *##elseif($request.serverName.equalsIgnoreCase("stagingserver.com"))#* *##set($mirrorDomain = "stagingmirror.com")#* *##elseif($request.serverName.equalsIgnoreCase("devserver.com") || $request.serverName.equalsIgnoreCase("localhost"))#* *##set($mirrorDomain = "devmirror.com")#* *##else#* *##set($mirrorDomain = "liveserver.com")#* *##end#* *#http://${mirrorDomain}${filepath}#* *##end This macro uses the mutli-line comment hack to gobble whitespace (so that none appears in the link text, whilst preserving some kind of readability. This works fine in 1.4, but throws a ParseException in 1.5 (stacktrace below) -- stacktrace -- 2007-04-03 16:05:38,712 - VelocimacroManager.parseTree() : exception makeLink org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.ParseException: Lexical error: org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.TokenMgrError: Lexical error at line 1, column 535.
