Thank you Vincent, that's exactly what I needed :-) And sorry I didn't check the tutes more carefully... Just for people that need to do this without a full-blown Groovy class: #macro( addDate $timeZone $date) #set( $script = " x = context.getClass() ... " ) #set( $runnable = $xwiki.parseGroovyFromString( $script ) ) $runnable.setProperty( "context", $context ) $runnable.setProperty( "timeZone", $timeZone ) $runnable.setProperty( "date", $date ) $runnable.run() #end On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 3:46 AM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi Lewis,

Maybe this will help:

In the shown example there are objects passed from Velocity to Groovy.

Hi xwiki-users,

I have a simple macro defined in velocity:

{{velocity}} {{{ #macro( addDate $timeZone $date ) #set( $script = " tz = '$timeZone' date = '$date'

timezone = java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone( timezone ) cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance( timezone ) // etc... " )

#set( $runnable = $xwiki.parseGroovyFromString( $script ) )

$runnable.run() #end }}} {{/velocity}}

Currently, the velocity macro parameters $timeZone and $date have to be Strings. I want to be able to pass "real objects" rather than just strings into the groovy script, though. I can easily return an Object back into Velocity space by returning from the groovy script, but is there a way to go the other way around? I guess what I really need is some "context" object shared by groovy and Velocity...

Thanks in advance!
