List in velocity macro, cannot find contains method
- by fastcodejava
I put a list strings as validTypes in velocity. When I do :
#if (${validTypes}.contains("aaa"))
// do something
#end
it throws an error. But when I do :
#foreach (${validType} in ${validTypes})
${validType}
#end
it works fine. Do I need to use velocity tools for this? How do I use it in an eclipse plugin?
Are there any work around without using velocity tools?
