[Webmacro-devel] Variable.get - Permission to commit?

[Marc P. <ma...@an...>]

Guys,

Following on from the discussion with Keats a few days ago, to solve the 
problem of calling snippets of WM script without having a huge 
#if...#elseif chain or using #include, I have added a "get" method to 
VariableTool.

Usage is trivial, but very useful:

#templet $templateA
   This is A!
#end

#templet $templateB
   This is B!
#end

#set $items = [ "A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "A"]
#foreach $i in $items
   #eval $Variable.get("template$i")
#end

This outputs:

   This is A!
   This is A!
   This is B!
   This is B!
   This is B!
   This is A!

This is very nice indeed for iterating over lists of objects and doing 
different things based on a value of a property of the objects.

This could also be used as function of course, making it even more 
convenient.

Can I commit? It's trivial:

    /**
     * Get the specified object <code>name</code> defined from the active
     * Context.
     */
    public Object get (Object name)
    {
        return context.get(name);
    }
