Hi Tim.
The tools can easily be used without the VelocityViewServlet.
import org.apache.velocity.tools.view.XMLToolboxManager;
...
XMLToolboxManager manager = new XMLToolboxManager();
manager.load("...../toolbox.xml");
Map toolbox = manager.getToolbox(null);
You can then create a new Velocity context with:
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext(toolbox);
If the context already exists, then you can create a chained context:
VelocityContext chained = new VelocityContext(toolbox,context);
You'll need the last VelocityTools release to do so (1.3). It may be
possible with 1.2 but with a slightly more complex code.
