Hi, Preetam,
Here is my sample code to use Velocity offline:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.velocity.app.VelocityEngine;
import org.apache.velocity.context.Context;
import org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeConstants;
import util.Util;
public class VelocityParser
{
private static VelocityEngine ve;
static
{
try
{
File templateDir = new File("mytempdir");
ve = new VelocityEngine();
// setting up file resource loader
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH,
templateDir.getCanonicalPath());
// Jian: this is very important, otherwise, there will be out of
memory error when a template
// with #foreach loop is called and the #foreach loop iterates
through million of times
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_CACHE,
"true");
//
ve.setProperty("file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval", "5");
// velocimacro configuration
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.VM_LIBRARY, "macro/spring.vm");
// this setting is such that changing inline velocity macro will
take effect
// WITHOUT restarting the web server!
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.VM_PERM_ALLOW_INLINE_REPLACE_GLOBAL,
"true");
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.VM_LIBRARY_AUTORELOAD, "true");
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.COUNTER_INITIAL_VALUE, "0");
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.PARSER_POOL_SIZE, "1");
// comment this out if we want to enable logging
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS,
"org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.NullLogSystem");
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_ERROR_STACKTRACE,
"false");
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_INFO_STACKTRACE,
"false");
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_WARN_STACKTRACE,
"false");
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_REFERENCE_LOG_INVALID, "true");
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.PARSE_DIRECTIVE_MAXDEPTH, "10");
// Jian: this is very important, otherwise, there will be out of
memory error when a template
// with #foreach loop is called and the #foreach loop iterates
through million of times
ve.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_CACHE,
"true");
ve.init();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
public static String evaluate(File templateFile, Context ctx) throws
Exception
{
return evaluate(Util.readFileAsString(templateFile, "UTF-8"), ctx);
}
public static String evaluate(String inputStr, Context ctx) throws
Exception
{
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
ve.evaluate(ctx, sw, "velolog", inputStr);
return sw.toString();
}
}
It is part of my code as I have something more relating to servlet too. So,
you might want to modify and adapt to your purpose.
Cheers,
Jian
