> I've made a new patch that includes a ReferenceInsertionEventHandler
> ("InvalidReferenceHandler") that collects a list of all invalid references in
> a Velocity page.
> To see how it works, look at the test code (the last two methods) in
> BuiltInEventHandlerTestCase.
> To make this work, I had to make some changes to the internals. So I thought
> I'd hold off a couple days before committing, let any interested parties
> comment.
> There's a couple of interesting new pieces for plugin writers.
> (1) In any user-defined plugin (event handlers, uberspectors, etc) you can
> now throw a subclass of VelocityRuntimeException (new exception). to signal
> unrecoverable states to the calling application. This runtime exception
> requires no change to the interface signature and is passed through the
> Velocity parsing process. (In the past, all Exceptions were caught and
> logged).
> Example use: a custom uberspector or event handler that wishes to stop page
> processing. For example, the InvalidReferenceHandler can be configured to
> throw an exception at the first reference error.
> (2) Event handlers can now receive information on the template name, line
> number, and column by implementing InfoAware. This only works for Local
> event handlers attached to a context (as opposed to the new Global type
> defined in Velocity properties).
> Example use: InvalidReferenceHandler reports out the line,column, and
> template name of each reference error.
> Everything is completely backwards compatible. It'd be simpler if it wasn't
> of course as they we could just redo the interfaces.
