Actually, not quite.
Velocity needs a servlet to take web requests, fill up a context with
"references" (that can be used within the page) and display the Velocity
page.
This is simpler than it sounds. The Velocity Tools subproject provides
VelocityViewServlet, which does most of this for you automatically. You can
define standard references in an XML file, or subclass VelocityViewServlet
to add more functionality. (that's what I think you'd need to do in this
case).

Read this article for more info. (As a side note: we just wrote it - it's
intended to help the new Velocity user make sense of the options for web
applications. Let us know if it's useful).

Best, WILL
P.S. I suggest you respond to the "velocity-user" list instead of
"velocity-dev", which is intended for discussion on "how to use Velocity".

Thanks Will, I am new to Velocity, but can embed Java in a Velocity
template similar to JSPs with such a simple task for my web page?
Thanks

The easiest way is to populate a list with a range of years in your
servlet,
then pass the list in as a reference in the context.

Hello all. Does any know how to do the following in a Velocity Template.
Dynamically figure out the current year and set up a drop down with a
certain range of years to be shown in the drop down field.
Thanks a ton.
