How to put Velocity parameters in WebWork action

[grundic]

I've implemented custom WebWork action. For it I've supplied some velocity templates.

How can I add custom parameters to velocity? I didn'f find any such method :(

If you add private variables in the action and getter methods for them in the action class, they are accessible from the velocity template. Is this what you want?

Yep, I think that's just it! Thanks a lot!

One more question: if I have to add to velocity context standard jira components - for example, webResourceManager - should I write something like:

public WebResourceManager getWebResourceManager(){
return ComponentManager.getInstance().getWebResourceManager();
}

It looks like overhead :-/

Hi Jobin,

Can you give an example for this?

Thanks

Example for getter/setters? If you have variable xyz and getter/setters for it, you can access it in velocity template as $xyz

Are you missing 's'? Try

<p>size : $crman.relationSchemes.size() </p>

You can also use

<p>size : $crman.getRelationSchemes().size() </p>

I can access with action like

#set ($crman = $action.relationManager)

then, I want to access its variables as folows:

<p>size : $crman.relationScheme.size() </p>

I have a getRelationSchemes() methods in it, but I am always getting zero. What is wrong with this?
