How to use Velocity Template Engine in OFBiz

pradeepruhil85
Hi,
I am trying to use Velocity as template engine instead of FTL in OFBiz.
My problem is  how can I call a velocity file from a screen widget as we
call a Ftl file  by writing this
 <platform-specific>
   <html><html-template location=
"component://manufacturing/webapp/manufacturing/jobshopmgt/MrpReports.ftl"
/></html>
 </platform-specific>

What are the steps that need to be taken for this.
Please help me to get through the situation.


Thanks & Regards

Velocity isn't supported by the framework, you'll either need to use freemarker or be prepared to add the support which will not be a simple task.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply,  but I have finished of calling a velocity page
directly from controller.xml  using the
VelocityViewHandler.java. But from this I am able to see the static data
on the page,  not the dynamic one.

So  for that I need to call this velocity page from Screens xml file, but
as you said it not implemented, so can you just tell me
how can I proceed to achieve this.


Thanks & Regards

Re: How to use Velocity Template Engine in OFBiz

All I can suggest is to look at how freemarker support was implemented  
and to follow a similar approach.  Like I said it is not a simple task  
and if I were you I would spend some time considering why freemarker  
doesn't meet your templating needs (personally I think freemarker is  
more powerful).

Scott

+1 on Scott's comment.
I also think that Freemarker is more powerful then Velocity.

Interesting article:

http://freemarker.org/fmVsVel.html
&
http://www.theserverside.com/tt/blogs/showblog.tss?id=FreeMarkerVelocity.
One of the good thing about freemarker is shown below and it is taken from
the article (This point is also available on the freemarker comparison link
shown above):

--------------------------------------
The one thing I really like about FreeMarker over Velocity is the ability to
use JSP Tags in your template. To me, this is very powerful since
displaytag<http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/>and struts
menu <http://struts-menu.sourceforge.net/> are my primary reasons for
sticking with JSP. After implementing JSP 2.0, Velocity and FreeMarker -
it's funny to see how the variable rendering syntax - ${...} - is very
similar in all three. Even after implementing Velocity and FreeMarker, I
think I'll stick with JSP (2.0) - it just seems a lot more powerful. No
limitations if you will.

BTW, Velocity was used in OFBiz before Freemaker replaced it some years ago...
