Hello, Our team has been experiencing a recurring problem with velocity templates. Upon rendering, some throw a RuntimeException with the message "Template.merge() failure - Unable to render Velocity Template, '/template.vm'".

We make heavy use of Velocity in our web application. While it is easy to debug the Java side of things and ensure the Velocity Context is populated correctly, it would be extremely valuable to be able to step through the parsing of the VTL on the merge step, set breakpoints, etc. Are there any tools or IDEs/IDE plugins that would make...

I have a Java array such as: String[] arr = new String[] {"123","doc","projectReport.doc"}; In my opinion the natural way to access would be: #set($att_id = $arr[0]) #set($att_type = $arr[1]) #set($att_name = $arr[2]) But that it is not working. I have come with this workaround. But it a bit too much code for such an easy task...
Say you have a standard template with included (parsed) header, body, footer templates. In the body template a variable like $subject is defined and you want that also displayed in the header template. In some other template languages like HTML::Mason(perl based) you would evaluate the body template first to pick up the $subject variab...

Is there a way to configure Velocity to use something other than toString() to convert an object to a string in a template? For example, suppose I'm using a simple date class with a format() method, and I use the same format every time. If all of my velocity code looks like this: $someDate.format('M-D-yyyy') is there some configuratio...
I'm currently building a Spring MVC application. I was looking to use JSP pages with tag libraries for handling the view layer and formatting of the HTML, but I've come across another group in my company that uses Velocity templates for the same purpose. From what I can see, it seems to me as if there are a lot of similarities between t...
I've seen Veloedit, which seems to have good syntax highlighting but doesn't allow tab characters in the file being edited (wtf?) and also has no understanding of HTML. With a little bit of googling I've found Veloecipse, which claims to build upon Veloedit and also add HTML support - but doesn't seem to be compatible with Eclipse 3.4. ...
