/**
 * This class provides  services to the application
 * developer, such as :
 * 
    *
  • Simple Velocity Runtime engine initialization methods. *
  • Functions to apply the template engine to streams and strings * to allow embedding and dynamic template generation. *
  • Methods to access Velocimacros directly. *
* *

* While the most common way to use Velocity is via templates, as * Velocity is a general-purpose template engine, there are other * uses that Velocity is well suited for, such as processing dynamically * created templates, or processing content streams. * *

* The methods herein were developed to allow easy access to the Velocity * facilities without direct spelunking of the internals. If there is * something you feel is necessary to add here, please, send a patch. * * @author Geir Magnusson Jr. * @author Christoph Reck * @author Jason van Zyl * @version $Id: Velocity.java 687177 2008-08-19 22:00:32Z nbubna $ */ public class Velocity implements RuntimeConstants { /** * initialize the Velocity runtime engine, using the default * properties of the Velocity distribution * * @throws Exception When an error during initialization occurs. */ public static void init() throws Exception { RuntimeSingleton.init(); } /** * initialize the Velocity runtime engine, using default properties * plus the properties in the properties file passed in as the arg * * @param propsFilename file containing properties to use to initialize * the Velocity runtime * @throws Exception When an error during initialization occurs. */ public static void init( String propsFilename ) throws Exception { RuntimeSingleton.init(propsFilename); } /** * initialize the Velocity runtime engine, using default properties * plus the properties in the passed in java.util.Properties object * * @param p Properties object containing initialization properties * @throws Exception When an error during initialization occurs. * */ public static void init( Properties p ) throws Exception { RuntimeSingleton.init( p ); } /** * Set a Velocity Runtime property. * * @param key The property key. * @param value The property value. */ public static void setProperty(String key, Object value) { RuntimeSingleton.setProperty(key,value); } /** * Add a Velocity Runtime property. * * @param key The property key. * @param value The property value. */ public static void addProperty(String key, Object value) { RuntimeSingleton.addProperty(key,value); } /** * Clear a Velocity Runtime property. * * @param key of property to clear */ public static void clearProperty(String key) { RuntimeSingleton.clearProperty(key); } /** * Set an entire configuration at once.
