Hey All,
I need to push some details up the processing chain. If I inject an
object like a Map into the context, and from within VTL call "add(Object
o)" on it, shouldn't this change be visible from outside the context,
once execution of the template is done?
The use case is tagging. Our application has several tier of content
processing.
- servlet
- theme
- N portlets
- CMS content
Only the servlet has access to write tags into the meta fields of the
page, but N CMS contents and other objects have tags for inclusion.
The issue is that for a couple reason we don't pass the real request
object all the way through to the CMS processing. BUT, I want to enable
CMS template developers to have the ability to submit tags
programatically.
So, I'd like to provide something like:
#set ($VOID = $tags.add("..."))
These would get collected post template into the actual request and at
the servlet level verified and added to the meta information of the
page.
But, my initial tests aren't working, so either I'm doing something
wrong (it's just a HashMap<String, String> that I'm using) or it's not
possible.
