In my web app I do utlize the VelocityViewServlet. I use that class in my web.xml file as to where all .vm filews should be mapped to. I have been using the VelocityStruts tools to create my velocity templates. All my pages work fine. Well except for one. The one page that needs data that I collected from other pages within my web app can not output the context that I created.
I will put the details about my problem in a seperate thread. -Paul On 6/20/05, Simon Christian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Paul, > > The VelocityServlet is all but deprecated now, with the recommended > starting point being the VelocityViewServlet/VelocityLayoutServlet instead. > > I'd strongly suggest you look at the whole of the VelocityStruts > sub-project (http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/struts/) which > uses the VelocityViewServlet for processing of templates.
