| 14 | |||
| 15 | === Remove a Velocity Engine from the cache === | ||
| 16 | |||

| 22 | |||
| 23 | === Cleanup unprotected namespaces === | ||
| 24 | |||

| 28 | |||
| 29 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 30 | engine.evaluate(new VelocityContext(), new StringWriter(), "namespace", "#macro(mymacro)toto#end") | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | Writer out = new StringWriter(); | ||
| 33 | engine.evaluate(new VelocityContext(), out, "namespace", "#mymacro()") | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | System.out.println(out.toString()) | ||
| 36 | {{/code}} | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | will now print | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 41 | #mymacro() | ||
| 42 | {{/code}} | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | To get | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 47 | toto | ||
| 48 | {{/code}} | ||
| 49 | |||

| 51 | |||
| 52 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 53 | engine.startedUsingMacroNamespace("namespace") | ||

| 56 | engine.evaluate(new VelocityContext(), new StringWriter(), "namespace", "#macro(mymacro)toto#end") | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | Writer out = new StringWriter(); | ||
| 59 | engine.evaluate(new VelocityContext(), out, "namespace", "#mymacro()") | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | System.out.println(out.toString()) | ||
| 62 | } finally { | ||
| 63 | engine.stoppedUsingMacroNamespace("namespace") | ||
