i'm not sure. i'll admit, i haven't test the solution i gave you. still, i think it should work. i'm curious, does the $menuitem.getLink() method return a String? if it doesn't, try this: #set( $link = $menuitem.getLink().toString() ) #set( $link = "$link" ) also, be sure that you either do not change the runtime.interpolate.string.literals property in your velocity.properties, or if you do specify a value, that it is true (the default). > On Sun September 18 2005 4:24 pm, Nathan Bubna wrote: > > oh, i should also point out this this could be done as follows: > > > > #set( $link = $menu.getLink() > > > #set( $link = "$link" > > > > > though i find that more confusing than using either the RenderTool or > > the ViewRenderTool (the latter is best if you are using the > > VelocityViewServlet). > > > > On 9/18/05, Nathan Bubna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tool > > >s/generic/RenderTool.html > > > > > > On 9/18/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I've got a template which basically shows a result from a database, > > > > e.g: > > > > > > > > > > > > <span> > > > > <a href="$menu.getLink()">$menu.getText()</a> > > > > </span> > > > > > > > > which works great.
