Debugging velocity template

[11年前 に Balaji Chopparapu によって更新されました。]

Hi,
How can I debug velocity template that is assigned to a structure and webcontent ? Till now I am printing all variables and doing debugging in a rude way. Can I use eclipse or any other IDE to debug velocity template?

Thanks in Advance,
Balaji

I do not know of any IDE that would let you, for example, set breakpoints in Velocity code and debug it - I've always used printing variables and such. One thing you may be interested in is how to emit debug information to the log file:

#set ($logFactory = $portal.getClass().forName('com.liferay.portal.kernel.log.LogFactoryUtil'))
#set ($log = $logFactory.getLog('mylog'))
$log.error($msgCount)
$log.error("Hi There")

If you find a better way, let me know!

I only know of Velocity Debugging Template and using logging.

Hello Hitoshi, i tested the velocity debugging but was not able to obtain any result. I was testing it using LR 6.1 EE and putted the macro into VM_liferay.vm in portal-impl.jar.
I used the script without $context.

Here is the vm script i would like to debug with #showDebugPopup macro call :

#set ($isOkinawaLogged = $request.get("remote-user"))
#if ($isOkinawaLogged != '')
#set ($userFullName = $user.getFullName())
<h1>Bonjour $userFullName</h1>
<p>Félicitations ! Vous participez à l'action bénévole des associations suivantes :'</p>
<li>
#foreach ($my_site_text IN $my_sites_text )
<ul>($my_site_text.getName())</ul>
#end
</li>
#else
<div class="portlet-msg-alert">
<h1>Bonjour cher visiteur, chère visiteuse</h1>
<p>Vous ne participez pas encore à l'action bénévole des associations affiliées au projet Okinawa. Nous nous réjouissons de vous accueillir très prochainement et vous compter bientôt parmi nous.</p>
<p>Vous trouverez ici la liste des associations auxquelles vous aurez adhérées.</p>
</div>
#end
#showDebugPopup()

Do you see something wrong ?

Note i'm able to debug a little bit with org.apache.velocity setted to debug, but it's not really sufficient.

Thank youz

In 6.2 CE GA6 we get "Cannot retrieve method forName from object of class java.lang.Class due to security restrictions."

Any ideas?

Thanks
