- <section name="What is Velocity?">
-
- <p>
- Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use
- the simple yet powerful template language to reference objects
- defined in Java code.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- When Velocity is used for web development, Web designers can work in
- parallel with Java programmers to develop web sites according to the
- Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, meaning that web page designers
- can focus solely on creating a site that looks good, and programmers
- can focus solely on writing top-notch code. Velocity separates Java
- code from the web pages, making the web site more maintainable over
- the long run and providing a viable alternative to <a
- href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/";>Java Server Pages</a>
- (JSPs) or <a href="http://www.php.net/";>PHP</a>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Velocity's capabilities reach well beyond the realm of web sites; for
- example, it can generate SQL and PostScript and XML (see <a
- href="./anakia.html">Anakia</a> for more information on XML transformations)
- from templates. It can be used either as a standalone utility for
- generating source code and reports, or as an integrated component of other
- systems. Velocity also provides template services for the
- <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/";>Turbine</a> web application
- framework. Velocity+Turbine provides a template service that will allow
- web applications to be developed according to a true MVC model.
