I’m using the recommended view engine NVelocity.
The following objects are available to the view code: • context (IRailsEngineContext) • request • response • session • All entries in the request (if any) • All entries in the Flash (if any) • All entries in the PropertyBag (if any)
Also, a siteRoot string is added so you can build url definitions like:
$siteRoot/home/index.rails
<img src="$siteRoot/images/someimage.gif" />
**Notation (variable name): **
$ [ ! ][ { ][ a..z, A..Z ][ a..z, A..Z, 0..9, -, _ ][ } ]
Examples:
-
Normal notation: $mud-Slinger_9
-
Silent notation: $!mud-Slinger_9
-
Formal notation: ${mud-Slinger_9}
