URL encoding the entity ID in Velocity

[Wessel, Keith]

First, sorry about my confusing the get method with the bracketed short-hand. I tried what I had before, but changing the parens to brackets and got a less than ideal response: another literal.

The bean I mentioned before was actually in outside of the map in global.xml. The id I gave it was what I referenced in the value attribute of the entry element inside the map. Obviously not the right way to go.

I tried Brent's suggestion of the value with type java.land.Class, though, and it worked like a charm. Looks very clean, too.

So, I'm good with this.

Thanks, both of you.

Keith

I didn't know that syntax, that's better than what I was suggesting obviously.

And I meant that the bean has to be called "shibboleth.CustomViewContext", obviously, not "custom". Thats just the name of the variable we put it in in Velocity.
