24 | /** |
25 | * <p> |
26 | * This is a small utility class allow easy access to static fields in a class, |
27 | * such as string constants. Velocity will not introspect for class |
28 | * fields (and won't in the future :), but writing setter/getter methods to do |
29 | * this really is a pain, so use this if you really have |
30 | * to access fields. |
31 | * |
32 | * <p> |
33 | * The idea it so enable access to the fields just like you would in Java. |
34 | * For example, in Java, you would access a static field like |
35 | * <blockquote><pre> |
36 | * MyClass.STRING_CONSTANT |
37 | * </pre></blockquote> |
38 | * and that is the same thing we are trying to allow here. |
39 | * |
40 | * <p> |
41 | * So to use in your Java code, do something like this : |
42 | * <blockquote><pre> |
43 | * context.put("runtime", new FieldMethodizer( "org.apache.velocity.runtime.Runtime" )); |
44 | * </pre></blockquote> |
45 | * and then in your template, you can access any of your static fields in this way : |
46 | * <blockquote><pre> |
47 | * $runtime.RUNTIME_LOG_WARN_STACKTRACE |
48 | * </pre></blockquote> |
49 | * |
50 | * <p> |
51 | * Right now, this class only methodizes <code>public static</code> fields. It seems |
52 | * that anything else is too dangerous. This class is for convenience accessing |
53 | * 'constants'. If you have fields that aren't <code>static</code> it may be better |
54 | * to handle them by explicitly placing them into the context. |
