Hi Claude,
I was finally able to got a simple code working :-) .
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
Writer writer = new StringWriter();
CustomEvent event = new CustomEvent("subash");
context.put("event", event);
Template template = createTemplate("eventtool.vm");
template.merge(context, writer);
System.out.println(writer);
writer.close();
}
private static Template createTemplate(String vmTemplateFile) throws
Exception {
VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("resource.loader", "class");
properties.put("class.resource.loader.description","Template Class
Loader");
properties.put("class.resource.loader.class",
"org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader");
ve.init(properties);
return ve.getTemplate(vmTemplateFile);
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here is the template and the out put.
*eventtool.vm*
$event;
Event Created by $event.getName()
Event Created on $event.getDate()
*Output*
*
*
This is a test event template: created bysubash on Thu Jul 26 23:57:25 IST
2012;
Event Created by subash
Event Created on Thu Jul 26 23:57:25 IST 2012
