Hello Velocity community,
I am new to this mailing list, my name is Christian Trutz and I am a graduate
student (mathematics) at University Bonn in Germany. Velocity is for me a
cool and useful tool and I want to contribute a little.
In the actual CVS tree there is a incomplete
org.apache.velocity.runtime.compile.Compiler class. This class wants to
compile a template via BCEL. I think it's better to generate first a java
file and then compile this with an usual compiler. What I mean:
Velocity file:
-----------
Hello $foo
-----------
after "compilation" you get something like this:
----------------------------------------------------------
public class CompiledTemplate {
public void merge( Context context, Writer writer) {
writer.write("Hello ");
writer.write( context.get( "foo" ) );
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------
Is this a good idea???
Is anybody working on a Velocity template compiler?
The AST (see JJTree) implemets the visitor pattern and any AST node has a
render method ... why? Is rendering with a visitor not so good?
Christian
