Previously, the following JSP tags
<ui:textfield label="mylabel" name="myname" value="myvalue"/>
would be written as
$ui.TextField.set("mylabel", "myname", "myvalue").Show
in Velocity. Under the new format, you would write:
#tag( TextField "label=mylabel" "name=myname" "value=myvalue" )
or
#bodytag( TextField "label=mylabel" "name=myname" "value=myvalue" ) #param( "param1" "value1") #param( "param2" "value2") #end
if you need to pass in additional parameters. Any and all feedback would be most welcome. My feeling is that the first construct feels awkward and unintuitive.
One issue with this new style is that attributes are declared via "name=name1" rather than the JSP style of name="name1". This is because Velocity's parser pukes on the later for custom user Directives. If anyone knows a way around this, I'm all ears!
Enjoy!
ps - does anyone know of an IDEA plugin that can chromacode Velocity templates?
