Description

This would allow chained context's to be able to be loaded from spring or other object factorys.

It is a simple one line change in the init() method:

FROM:

VelocityContext velocityContext = (VelocityContext)
ObjectFactory.getObjectFactory().buildBean(Class.forName(classname));

TO:

VelocityContext velocityContext = (VelocityContext)
ObjectFactory.getObjectFactory().buildBean(classname);

e.g. don't do Class.forName. Let the object factory figure it out.

after this toolbox like things can be wired in.

e.g

<bean id="springToolboxContext"
class="org.apache.velocity.VelocityContext" >
<constructor-arg>
<map>
<entry key="dateTool">
<ref bean="dateTool"/>
</entry>
</map>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>

<bean id="dateTool" class="org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.DateTool"/>
