There is some possible hack to call velocity script from groovy but would be a lot easier to do pure groovy actually. If you want to repeat a task you should add a groovy method, for example onEvent itself is a method you can call it with parameters and it also can return an object which is a lot better that wiki macro in this context. Wiki macro are really targeting display and are really not supposed to be use as methods. To summarize: yes I think you will have to do learn some groovy and after some time you will see that it's a lot better than velocity for a use case like that where you don't have anything to display. You can take a look at http://groovy.codehaus.org/Beginners+Tutorial which seems pretty nice. You should get started pretty quickly, groovy is really easy for someone who already did programming in any other language. > > -- > Best regards > Eugen Colesnicov! > > -- > View this message in context: > http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Interacting-between-groovy-velocity-script-tp7107913p7109241.html > Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users@xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
