just to clarify, since i just noticed you are creating a webapp. you could use the ServletToolboxManager in 1.4 to manage your tools without using the VelocityViewServlet at all. ask if you want more info on that. > In VelocityTools 2.0, you can just create a ToolManager and ask it for > a ToolContext (which you can use like a standard VelocityContext) via > the createContext() method. Auto-loading definitely requires a > special context. oh, and in 2.0, you would not need to do any configuration. just get a ToolContext and go, tools are lazy-loaded when used, so all are configured to be available by default. > On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 1:53 PM, Steve Cohen<sco...@javactivity.org> wrote: >> >> Steve Cohen wrote: >> >> ... >> >> (never mind any of what I wrote before, I have now boiled it down to one >> hopefully intelligent question): >> >> >> I am NOT using VelocityView but instantiating, configuring and initializing >> a VelocityEngine in java code.
