[WebMacro-user] Co-operating with Velocity

[Tim Pizey]

Hi,

I have just switched, temporarily, from WebMacro to Velocity,
for no good reason other than to exercise some code that has been hanging
around claiming to allow Velocity/WebMacro co-operation.

After some fiddling I have
http://melati.org/melati/org.melati.admin.Admin/contacts/Main
running using Velocity as the template engine serving WebMacro templates.

It uses an extended ClasspathResourceLoader
http://melati.org/xref/org/melati/template/velocity/WebMacroClasspathResourceLoader.html
so it loads templates out of the jar and a helper class to convert WM to
Velocity using Perl5
http://melati.org/xref/org/melati/template/velocity/WebMacroConverter.html

Hope this is of interest/use to someone on the list.

yours
Tim Pizey
