These examples are from Apache Velocity Project's source repository. They are converted from Java and shell scripts to Scala and can be run from the sbt build tool.
Starting sbt:
$ sbt
You can compile all the examples from the sbt console:
> compile
How to run each of the examples is shown below.
This simple example shows how to use the Velocity Template Engine in a standalone program.
> app_example1/run example.vm
Another simple example showing how to use Velocity in a standalone
program. This examples uses the org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity
application utility class, which provides a few convenient methods for
application programmers.
> app_example2/run
This 'toy' example shows how to use the Velocity logger interface to have any class function as a logging facility.
> logger_example/runMain LoggerExample
This class demonstrates how to configure Velocity to use an existing log4j logger for logging.
You will see that the log4j output will contain the output from velocity's initialization.
> logger_example/runMain Log4jLoggerExample
This is a demonstration of 2 different context implementations:
- a context implementation that uses a database as the storage.
Use the
DBContextTestprogram to test. See the DBContextTest.scala file for the db table info. Unsupported demonstration code. You may need to futz with it to get it to work in your environment. - a context implementation that uses a
TreeMapfor storage. Very simple.
> context_example/run dbtest.vm
This simple example demonstrates the event handling features of the Velocity Template Engine.
> event_example/run
Another simple example showing how to use Velocity in a standalone program. This example shows how to use Velocity to access XML data directly from an XML input file within the template. It also demonstrates velocimacro recursion.
> xmlapp_example/run xml.vm
