I'm just learning about velocity, so I am trying to compare the velocity
project with research that I have done into using XML and XSLT. I've also
looked into the possibility of using Cocoon, another apache project, but am
not sure that it offers me what I need.
Why is the velocity project setting up it's own parser and template
language, instead of using the existing parser and template language found
in XML and XSL??? It seems like what you are building is almost an exact
match to what is already existant in XML and XSL, and they seem like the
better choice since they are standardized. Your Context object matches
information that would be incuded in XML, and your Template file matches
functionality existant in XSL.
Thanks for your help.
