Ask yourself if this is the scope of the templating language or a
programming language. If you come up with "programming language", move
the code to a pull tool as it was suggested by some others.
Velocity is a language to build templates from your internal data
representation. If you need to embed a programming language in your
templates, use PHP, Jython or JSPs. You have a fully fledged Java
programming environment at your fingertips to write the functionality
of your code. This is not the job of Velocity. :-)
