i'm not surprised you didn't find much on Google. most
VelocityViewServlet subclasses are probably in proprietart
subclasses. still, it would be pretty easy to make the VelocityEngine
accessible to your Struts Actions. since your actions have access to
the servlet context, you can do a simple subclass of the
VelocityViewServlet that puts the already configured VelocityEngine
into the ServletContext attributes. something like:
public MyVVS extends VelocityViewServlet {
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
VelocityEngine engine = getVelocityEngine();
config.getServletContext().setAttribute("velocityEngine", engine);
}
}
then you just pull the engine out of the servlet context in your
Struts Action. :)
