I´m not sre what you mean... but.... StringUtils is not an abstract class, so you could put in the context of Velocity an instance of StringUtils.... velContext.put("StringUtils", new StringUtils() ); In your template... $StringUtils.leftPad( $car.id, 6, '0') $StringUtils.leftPad( $car.na000me, 15, ' ') wish it helps...
