How to develop a macro that can contain other arbitrary macros

[Al Johnson]

Hi,

Can anyone give any pointers or code sample on how to render from the execute() method my macro body which can contain other macros?

I've tried:

XhtmlContent.convertMacroDefinitionToView()

MacroDefinition.getTransformedBodyStream()

and they, understandably, just skip over the embedded/nested macros in the body of my macro.

I have the v6.6.3 Confluence source code so any pointers as to what classes to look at would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Al

Well, it wasn't too bad:



 String convertStorageToView = null;
 String body = "";
 try {
 final AtomicReference<MacroDefinition> atomicMacroDefinition = new AtomicReference<>();
 xhtmlUtils.handleMacroDefinitions(page.getBodyAsString(), conversionContext, new MacroDefinitionHandler()
 {
 public void handle(MacroDefinition macroDefinition)
 {
 if(excerptName.equals(macroDefinition.getParameter("ss-name"))) {
 atomicMacroDefinition.set(macroDefinition);
 }
 }
 });
 MacroDefinition foundMacro = atomicMacroDefinition.get();
 if(foundMacro != null) {
 // Note: foundMacro.getBodyText() returns transformed text, not storage format
 String macroStorageFormatBody = Streamables.writeToString(foundMacro.getStorageBodyStream());
 System.out.println("\n\nTRACE macroStorageFormatBody: " + macroStorageFormatBody + "\n\n");
 convertStorageToView = xhtmlUtils.convertStorageToView(macroStorageFormatBody, conversionContext);
 System.out.println("\n\nxhtmlUtils.convertStorageToView(): " + convertStorageToView + "\n\n");
 body = convertStorageToView;
 } else {
 body = "Specified Single Source Include macro not found";
 }
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 body = e.getMessage();
 }
 
 System.out.println("TRACE body: " + body);
 contextMap.put("body", body);
 return VelocityUtils.getRenderedTemplate(TEMPLATE, contextMap);
