I had the same question before, finally I still chose VelocityView. Since
VelocityView is for webapp, I had to use MockServletContext and
MockServletConfig:
public MyVelocityEngine(ServletContext servletContext, String
velocityPropertiesFile) throws ServletException
{
MockServletConfig msc = new MockServletConfig();
msc.addInitParameter("org.apache.velocity.properties",
velocityPropertiesFile);
msc.addInitParameter("org.apache.velocity.tools.loadDefaults", "false");
msc.setServletContext(servletContext);
JeeConfig config = new JeeConfig(msc);
_view = new VelocityView(config);
}
MockServletContext msc = new MockServletContext(appRoot, new
FileSystemResourceLoader());
MyVelocityEngine engine = new MyVelocityEngine(msc, "...");
Then, when I want to load tools from xml files, use VelocityView.configure():
public void loadTools(File toolXml) throws FileNotFoundException,
IOException
{
XmlFactoryConfiguration conf = new XmlFactoryConfiguration();
conf.read(new FileInputStream(toolXml));
_view.configure(conf);
}
I am not sure if I am using Velocity in a good manner, but MyVelocityEngine
works well. Maybe there are better ways:)
