Frederic Daoud commented on VELTOOLS-123: ----------------------------------------- Correction: layout = (String) request.getAttribute(KEY_LAYOUT); > Layout Servlet: Look for alternate layout in request attribute > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: VELTOOLS-123 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-123 > Project: Velocity Tools > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: VelocityView > Affects Versions: 1.4 > Reporter: Frederic Daoud > > The layout servlet looks for an alternate layout in the request parameters, > and in the context (e.g. #set($layout="..."). > It would be very useful if it would also look in the request attributes, e.g. > request.getAttribute("layout"). This would allow a servlet filter to specify > which layout to use, according to whatever criteria, by setting the layout as > a request attribute. > This improvement is very easy to add, and it would be oh so useful! > VelocityLayoutServlet.java (1.4): > protected Context createContext(HttpServletRequest request, > HttpServletResponse response) > { > Context ctx = super.createContext(request, response); > // check if an alternate layout has been specified > // by way of the request parameters > String layout = request.getParameter(KEY_LAYOUT); > // also look in the request attributes > if (layout == null) > { > layout = request.getAttribute(KEY_LAYOUT); > } > if (layout != null) > { > // let the template know what its new layout is > ctx.put(KEY_LAYOUT, layout); > } > return ctx; > } > Thanks in advance. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
