| <p> |
| Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use |
| the simple yet powerful template language to reference objects |
| defined in Java code. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| When Velocity is used for web development, Web designers can work in |
| parallel with Java programmers to develop web sites according to the |
| Model-View-Controller (MVC) model, meaning that web page designers |
| can focus solely on creating a site that looks good, and programmers |
| can focus solely on writing top-notch code. Velocity separates Java |
| code from the web pages, making the web site more maintainable over |
| the long run and providing a viable alternative to <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/">Java Server Pages</a> |
| (JSPs) or <a href="http://www.php.net/">PHP</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Velocity's capabilities reach well beyond the realm of web sites; for |
| example, it can generate SQL and PostScript and XML (see <a href="./anakia.html">Anakia</a> for more information on XML transformations) |
| from templates. It can be used either as a standalone utility for |
| generating source code and reports, or as an integrated component of other |
| systems. Velocity also provides template services for the |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/">Turbine</a> web application |
| framework. Velocity+Turbine provides a template service that allows |
| web applications to be developed according to a true MVC model. |
