Re: [Springframework-developer] Velocity problem in 1.0 final

[<jue...@we...>]

I've removed this because I consider model names with dots something to =
avoid: Such model names do not work with the JSTL or FreeMarker either, =
so I suggest to use different model names rather than adding special =
conversions to Spring's templating support. Effectively, a "." -> "_" =
conversion is a workaround that we'd need to add to JSTL and FreeMarker =
too for consistency: Frankly, I don't see the point in this - let's =
recommend model names without dots, usable with any view technology.

Subject: [Springframework-developer] Velocity problem in 1.0 final



I've just dropped a 1.0 final spring.jar into one of my projects that =
uses
Velocity and it now fails due to a change made in VelocityView (CVS
revision 1.24)

Prior to this version, the velocity context was initialized with:

Context velocityContext =3D new VelocityContext();
VelocityEngineUtils.exposeModelAsContextAttributes(model, =
velocityContext);


now, it's done with:

Context velocityContext =3D new VelocityContext(model);

and the relevant conversion method from VelocityEngineUtils has been =
removed.

What this means is any model object with a period (.) in the name is not
altered to a velocity friendly underscore character (_) which
VelocityEngineUtils used to do.

Is there a reason this was done, or is there an alternative conversion
method that I've overlooked?  Velocity can still not handle names with
periods so now any application that potentially adds such keys to the
model map will break (as mine just has!) when Velocity is the view
technology.
