Utils (Sitevision API)

```
@Requireable(value="Utils")
public interface Utils
```
Main entry point to get instances of interfaces in the Sitevision Utility API.
An instance of this interface can be obtained from your portlet via the request attribute "sitevision.utils". Once you have obtained an Utils instance, you can use it to retrieve instances of all other interfaces in the Sitevision API. In all JCR capable portlets that are bundled with Sitevision and exposes a "Custom template", you always have an Utils instance available as "$sitevisionUtils" in the VelocityContext.

Example of how to get hold of a PropertyUtil instance from your JSR 286 portlet:
```
    Utils utils = (Utils) aRequest.getAttribute("sitevision.utils");
    PropertyUtil propertyUtil = utils.getPropertyUtil();
    ...
    propertyUtil.get...
 
```
Example of how to get hold of a PropertyUtil instance in Velocity for a JCR capable standard Sitevision portlet with a "Custom template" (e.g. the JCR Menu portlet):
```
    #set($propertyUtil = $sitevisionUtils.propertyUtil)
    ...
    $propertyUtil.get...
 
```
If sitevisionUtils is not available on the VelocityContext, you can use the PortletRequest instead if available (e.g. the Script portlet):
```
    #set($propertyUtil = $request.getAttribute('sitevision.utils').propertyUtil)
 
```

    Parameters:
    
    aMaxWidth - max width in pixels for scaled images, must be 10 or higher
    
    aMaxHeight - max height in pixels for scaled images, must be 10 or higher
