This page contains the slides and code from the 
[http://www.apachecon.com/2004/US/html/ 2004 ApacheCon] session "Hacking 
Velocity". (March 17, 2004).

== Description ==

Velocity, the popular Jakarta templating language, can be used "out of the box" 
to produce dynamic HTML, generate code, and for a variety of other purposes. 
But what if you want to customize the Velocity language or environment? This 
session provides tips for the intermediate to advanced Velocity developer on 
how to provide additional functionality to your Velocity users. The following 
topics will be covered. All of these enhancements can be down without 
recompiling the Velocity jar files. 

 * Increasing developer productivity with the Velocity-Tools subproject 
 * Adding new template control statements with a custom directive 
 * Changing functionality with an event handler
 * Loading your templates with a custom resourceloader 
 * Creating a secure Velocity hosting service with a custom introspector 

If time allows, we'll discuss how to change the language syntax itself by using 
JavaCC and recompiling Velocity.
