Create a custom simple macro

[Saurabh Gupta]

Creating a simple macro with no parameters except the one which defines the width of macro in view mode of confluence page.

So my macro is working perfectly except the part where it keeps on loading on insert/edit macro screen -

So here is my piece of code - 

<xhtml-macro name="search-report" class="com.temp.ReportMacro" key="search-report-xhtml">
        <description key="com.temp.macro.desc"/>
        <category name="reporting"/>            
        <parameters>
            <parameter name="width" type="pixel" default="500px"/>
        </parameters>
    </xhtml-macro>

and 

public class ReportMacro implements Macro {

	@Override
	public String execute(Map<String, String> arg0, String arg1, ConversionContext arg2)
			throws MacroExecutionException {

		Map<String, Object> contextMap = MacroUtils.defaultVelocityContext();
		contextMap.put("reportType", "macro");
		return VelocityUtils.getRenderedTemplate("vm/temp-report.vm", contextMap);
	}

	public BodyType getBodyType() {
		return BodyType.NONE;
	}

	public OutputType getOutputType() {
		return OutputType.BLOCK;
	}

}

I don't see any problem with the code, so what am i missing.

Problem in my code was type="pixel". Wasted 4 hrs on searching other stuff.
