[xwiki-users] Accessing Groovy function from velocity

[Esbach, Brandon]

A small note about the separate groovy page (I made note of this in the
page you put in JV):
When you create the page, it cannot have "<%" and "%>".  If it does,
then it won't work (understandable, a lot of other languages work this
way when a separate file used as a source, eg Javascript).  
However, this then results in your class being shown in plain text in
the saved document (this occurs in B2 and B4, can't test B3 as it's not
running on our test environment anymore) - which I would not like to see
user's having any view access to.

I'm unsure of what to suggest around this, or if it is even a concern.
Naturally, if "parseGroovyFromString" would allow the "<%%>" then the
page would be protected by default from the user (being correctly
assessed as a Groovy page), BUT this is not quite a good solution.
Perhaps it would help if there are some flags for the page that do not
break the "parseGroovyFromString" method, but signify to Xwiki that the
page is Groovy (and so needs programming rights to modify or save, and
does not show content).  

For example:

	$doc.isVelocityInclude
	public class xyz
	{
		groovy code
	}


Once the Xwiki engine sees $doc.isVelocityInclude, it treats the page as
velocity and won't save without programming rights, and won't display
it's content on viewing the document.

Not sure if this is even an issue though.  
Thoughts?

Ahh, nice job!
Many thanks, it's a lot clearer now!

Hi JV,

Very cool. I've linked your tutorial from http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/

Thanks
