Precisely Enterworks

Is there a trick to activating Tools in VTL? I can't seem to get this to work in 8.2. I'm just in the beginning stages of testing our new 10.3 system and wanted to see if there was anything that I was missing when trying to use MathTools and StringTools.

Thanks!

Hi Jonathan. Where do you encounter MathTools and StringTools? Sounds cool but never seen them :)

Jon,

The application VTL is the Apache Velocity project.  The version of Velocity being used is found here:

http://velocity.apache.org/engine/1.7/vtl-reference.html


The Java classes for the various tools can be found at: 

https://velocity.apache.org/tools/1.4/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/generic/package-summary.html

Here's an example of invoking the Math tool:

######################

## Calculate cubic volume

######################

#set($String="test")##

#set ($MathTool = $String.getClass().forName("org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.MathTool").newInstance())##

#set($result = (${SKUUOM_STG.Packaging Height}* ${SKUUOM_STG.Packaging Length} *${SKUUOM_STG.Packaging Width})/ 1728)##

#set($result = $MathTool.roundTo(2,$result))##

$result##
