From Viewtool get the VTL being parsed

[tesserfamily]

From a viewtool I need to get the name of the file being parsed. Is that
possible?

a tool can really only get access to whatever is in the context or
what is manually given to it.  since the HttpServletRequest is
available automatically, they can get the request path and derive the
file from that.   just know that even that isn't perfect; if the
request path points to foo.vm and foo.vm does #parse('bar.vm') which
is the one with your tool being used in it, there's no way for the
tool to know that without being told, since #parse doesn't really
inject info about itself into the context.

I ended up doing this which works

ica = new InternalContextAdapterImpl(ctx);
String fieldResourceName = ica.getCurrentTemplateName();
