thank you very much! if i provide 'public void configure(Map map)', then what other entries will be contained in the map except those properties what i defined in the tool.xml explicitly?
in other words, if i provide setter methods, which implicit methods will be called before the tool be used? setServletContext()? setRequest()? or others? i need a list of such methods. many thanks! 2010-01-12 bluejoe2008 发件人： Nathan Bubna 发送时间： 2010-01-12 05:40:04 收件人： Velocity Users List 抄送： 主题： Re: how to create a custom tool in tool 2.0?
