------------------------------------
Summary: Allow invalid reference events for quiet references to
improve backward compatibility
Key: VELOCITY-915
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-915
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 2.1, 2.0
Reporter: Pierre Post
Apache Velocity 2.0 changed the mechanism of sending invalid reference events.
As of version 2.0, no events are generated in case of quiet references. As it
is understandable to produce less irrelevant events for most use cases, there
still exist some other use cases where these events must be received for quiet
references. Besides, this was absolutely legitimate in versions 1.x and we now
have projects that rely on that behavior but cannot be migrated to 2.x without
further development effort.
If there is no other way to reproduce the old 1.x behavior, please add an
initialization parameter that enables the sending of invalid reference events
for quiet references as this would greatly improve backwards compatibility with
1.x versions, e.g.
{noformat}
# Send invalid reference events for quiet references (false by default)
eventhandler.invalidreferences.include.quiet_references = true{noformat}
There already exist other parameters only to ensure backwards compatibility.
Thank you very much.
