You can either use VelocityTools (you'll probably find VelocityTools 2
easier, though it's in alpha still) or else just create a global
VelocityContext instance and chain all other context objects to it:
//pseudo-code
VelocityContext global = new VelocityContext();
fillGlobalContext(global);
for (SomeXMLOrOtherItem foo : thingstoprocess) {
// chain the local and global contexts
VelocityContext local = new VelocityContext(global);
processXMLOrOtherItem(foo, local);
}
