thank you nethan, this is very helpful!
unfortunately I have to stay with VelocityTools 1.x as long as there is
no 2.0 release candiate.

dear velocity forum,
I need access to a tool instance which is configured in my toolbox.xml from
within java.
how can I access these (request-scope) instances from:
a.) ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
in *Action.java?
There's no easy way in VelocityTools 1.x. You'll probably have to
extend the VelocityViewServlet and override the fillContext(context,
request) method, and grab either the whole toolbox or just the tools
you need and put them in the request attributes there.
In VelocityTools 2, the toolbox is stored in the request attributes by
default (rather than a field in the context class), so you just pull
out the toolbox and ask it for a tool.
b.) another tool?
I have implemented
public void init( Object context ) and I'm getting the ViewContext, but when
I try ChainedContext.getToolBox() it is always null!
That's because init happens while the toolbox is being created, which
is before it is made available to the ChainedContext. If you just
keep the ChainedContext and ask it for the toolbox later, that should
work.
Can you give me a hint?
Thanks,
Andreas
