Major Description
I have this template:
hello-world.properties.vm
----------------------------------------------------------
Slash: ${sample-slash}
Slash in a Map: ${map.sample-slash}
----------------------------------------------------------
And I have this sample test case:
public class ApacheVelocityTest { private final String RESOURCES_DIR = "src/test/resources"; @Test public void testVelocity() { Path templatePath = Paths.get(RESOURCES_DIR, "templates", "hello-world.properties.vm"); VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine(); ve.setProperty(Velocity.PARSER_HYPHEN_ALLOWED, true); ve.init(); Template t = ve.getTemplate(templatePath.toString()); VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext(); context.put("sample-slash", "SLASH"); Map<String, String> sampleData = createData(); context.put("map", sampleData); StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(); t.merge(context, writer); System.out.println(writer.toString()); } public Map<String, String> createData() { Map<String, String> mapData = new HashMap<String, String>(); mapData.put("sample-slash", "USER1"); return mapData; } }
Now, the first "sample-slash" is rendered correctly but the one that is in the config map is not..it is throwing out an error like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException: Encountered "-slash}" at src\test\resources\templates\hello-world.properties.vm[line 5, column 22] Was expecting one of: "[" ... "|" ... "}" ... "}" ... at org.apache.velocity.Template.process(Template.java:154)
The parser exception is being thrown by the object that is embedded into the java map.
Do I have any workaround for this developers? Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
