Re: upgrading

As far as your own tools goes, I want to make sure I've got it right:

Old:
-------------------------------------------------------------
public class MyTool implements ViewTool
{
private String theString;

public void init( Object o )
{
if( !( obj instanceof ViewContext ) )
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Tool can only be
initialized with a ViewContext" );
}
}

public String getTheString()
{
return "this string comes from a velocity tool";
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------

New:
-------------------------------------------------------------
public class MyTool
{
private String theString;

public void init( Object o )
{
if( !( obj instanceof ViewContext ) )
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Tool can only be
initialized with a ViewContext" );
}
}

public String getTheString()
{
return "this string comes from a velocity tool";
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------

Do I still need the init method? Or can I skip that too?

Thanks.

Charlie
