The following page has been changed by TimColson: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-velocity/VelocityFAQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Q: Fred Toth's solution doesn't work for VelocityTools 1.2. :( * A: From 1.2, !VelocityViewServlet uses the !SeparateInstanceModel. You will have to set the !VelocityEngine instead of the Velocity singleton class. Something like SilentParseInclude. [[BR]] - * Q: Why are Velocity templates not working from JavaScript? + * Q: Why are Velocity templates not working from !JavaScript? + * A: Velocity runs on the '''server''', whereas !JavaScript runs on the '''client''' in the browser. Examples: a user requests a page, on the server Velocity renders templates into HTML which is sent to the browser to display. All of the Velocity template processing happens '''before''' the page is sent to the browser. There is no way for !JavaScript to render Velocity template directives without going BACK to the server. Note also that Velocity '''can''' be used to render custom !JavaScript. (Tim Colson) - * A: Velocity runs on the *server*, whereas JavaScript runs on the *client* in the browser. Think of it this way: user requests a page ---> server uses velocity to render templates into HTML (with JavaScript ---> browser displays the page that consists of HTML & JavaScript. - In other words, all of the Velocity template processing happens *before* the page is sent to the browser. There is no way for JavaScript to render Velocity template directives without going BACK to the server. Note also that Velocity *can* be used to render custom JavaScript.
