Long arithmetic...?
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI)
It seems that a Velocity #set directive fails when the RHS involves any
arithmetic operation with long integers.
Specifically, I just wanted to determine the difference between two
dates, thus:
#set ($age = $xwiki.currentDate.time -
$obj.xWikiObject.getDateValue("donedate").time)
I confirmed that I got credible results from both of the operands by
printing them, and I could assign either of them to another variable
name, but setting $age to the result of any arithmetic operation with
any of them always gave "$age" as the formatted result.
This shouldn't be this hard, should it?
