Actually, Velocity provides the "VelocityViewServlet" which is a ultra simple web framework (i.e. category 1). You just drop the templates in your Tomcat web app and you go.

I can't comment on Click as I've never used it, but I must recommend staying away from Struts. I know I may start an argument here as there are a lot of people who still live by them but I've used Struts, and while they were great when they first came out and there weren't alternatives, I have found them to be inferior to many other newer MVC/MVC2 frameworks. You don't NEED anything from 1. To be honest, I wouldn't bother with any other MVC framework until you learn velocity and all it offers. All you need to do to get velocity based pages to render your computer is: Install Tomcat and then Velocity. That's it. Once you are comfortable with the above and are writing some simple velocity backed servlets, then do your OWN investigation as to a supporting framework to help you. My suggestions to look at are Spring MVC/Web flow, Tapestry, JSF, but remember these aren't necessary, and in my opinion can add an unnecessary layer unless the web app developed is going to be quite large. Again this is a matter of opinion and others may argue that you should never develop a web app without one of these helper frameworks under the templating language, and I encourage you to explore them for yourself after getting comfortable with a basic velocity only webapp. -----Original Message----- From: Brenton Strine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 10:16 AM To: Velocity Users List Subject: RE: Beginner trying to install velocity to apache server Wow, I really wasn't getting it! Thanks everyone. May I ask a clarifacatory question? It seemed to me that all the stuff mentioned goes into two categories: 1: click, struts 2: tomcat, jboss, websphere, resin, jetty And possibly 3: resin, apache. And my understanding is that to get velocity to render on my pc, I need to install one thing from category 1, and one thing from category 2. Correct? I'm going to want to install either the easiest or the one with the most detailed install documentation available.
