[xwiki-dev] Problem

[Sergiu Dumitriu]

Velocity variables are Java objects, on which you can call any
(public) method you could call in a Java program. In your case, the
$input variable is a String, so you can call $input.toLowerCase().

Whenever you have a variable in Velocity, and don't know what to do
with it, here are some tips:

1. Write $myUnknownVar.class and view the result. This will show you
the class of that object.
2. Look at the public methods that class offers.
3. Found the method you were looking for? Call it: $myUnknownVar.doSomething()

Sergiu.
