For very simple templates you can use java.text.MessageFormat. It lacks the ability to do real template work, conditions, loops, HTML escaping etc, but for simple substitutions, numbers, dates, etc it works. There may be a comparable and better implementation in one of the apache utility packages as far as I remember.
Velocity is a big hammer, but it is a fully featured template language. Complicated to integrate if you do not use it they way they thought you would (web pages with predefined templates, like JSP). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
