Velocity string function

Question

I just start using Java Velocity. Now I want to create a java class template.

package $app.package_namespace public class ${app.name}Station  {     #foreach($s_attribute in $app.station)          $s_attribute.type $s_attribute.name,     #end     public $app.name Station(#foreach($s_attribute in $app.station)                                  $s_attribute.type $s_attribute.name;                              #end) {     #foreach($s_attribute in $app.station)           $s_attribute.name=$s_attribute.name;     #end } #foreach($s_attribute in $app.station)     public ${s_attribute.type} get${s_attribute.name}()     {         return  get${s_attribute.name}();     } #end } 

The problem is s_attribute.name first character is lowercase. When I create getter and setter function for attributes. I need change first character to uppercase.

Did anyone know how to do it?

Answer 1

You can invoke standard java methods on these objects. If s_attribute.name is type String you can directly use $s_attribute.name.toUpperCase() or for your specific case use $s_attribute.name.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() and $s_attribute.name.substring(1).toLowerCase()

Answer 2

There is capitalize() method in DisplayTool:

get${display.capitalize($s_attribute.name)}()
