If anyone is interested, I have basic support for jython working with velocity. It hasn't been properly tested (I'm just playing with it myself now), but so far so good. I'm working on a multi-lingual (well... dual lingual) dictionary app in my spare time and currently using jython+velocity (+jetty+derby etc) for the few simple features I've implemented so far.

Creating a custom Introspector is exactly what you need to do.

For example, someone in the last month or two made one that queries Lucene indices.

Subject: a question about extending velocity


Hi

I have a requirement for using jython with velocity, and -- as far as it stands -- it's not usable without either putting some nasty looking method calls directly in the template, or creating a tool to handle jython object properties/methods. I'm not keen on either method. I notice some traffic on this in the past but haven't found any patches or tools to do what I want.

I also haven't come across any documentation that says what is the accepted way to extend velocity for handling introspection of non-standard object types.

As far as I can figure, you are able to set the UBERSPECT_CLASSNAME property on VelocityEngine to a custom uberspect implementation, in order to add functionality to the standard UberspectImpl (which seems to work fine), but have I missed something? Is there a better/accepted approach to doing this?

Thx,
Jason
