Jakarta Velocity 1.3 Released

The Velocity community is proud to announce the release of v1.3 of the
Jakarta Velocity template engine.

Along with numerous minor fixes, this release includes

 o Automatic detection of Jakarta Log4j or Jakarta Avalon's logkit
   for standard logging.

 o "Application Attributes" allow applications to interact with custom
    components such as resource loaders, loggers, etc.

 o The Resource Manager and Resource Cache are now pluggable, allowing
   for customized implementations.

 o The User's Guide is available in Finnish, French, Spanish and English

Thanks all for the patience.

I think we should roll the current CVS head out as 1.4-rc1 to get some of
the fixes out and available.  And no, it won't be the same release cycle.
Apologies...

Arg.  At least you can't say we rushed this release out the door.

:)

I thought I was seeing things - this bug, or something like it, has been
rattling around in the back of my head for a while, but I guess I figured it
was me.

We'll find it and kill it and then do a 1.3.1 release.

Hi all
I just upgrade to vel 1.3 and a working code in vel 1.2  now says

$toolbox.get($stateNames, $velocityCount) is not a valid reference.
The  $stateNames is an object array and $velocityCount is int.

The arguments of the method are Object[],int
Any hints or ideas

Jelly is a 'product'.

Jexl is an expression engine that allows you to embed expression support in
java applications.  Think of it as Velocity-like expression syntax that you
can use.  I am trying to ensure that it's compatible with the JSTL
expression language, with extensions that we Velociteers as used to, namely
access to any public method.

   'foo.bar(thing)'

There are no $ for references, because jexl won't dictate the format of
references, allowing the freedom of implementation.

For example, Jelly uses jexl as its default expression language, with the
syntax of

  ${foo.bar}

But if you had another app, it could be $foo.bar or [foo.bar] or...

The tools are independent, and in my opinion, we shouldn't like the
releases.  The URL loader didn't make it.  I am not sure that we should,
unless there really is interest in seeing it in core.  I would rather see
the WebappLoader get into core (and the complentary logger...), but we
should discuss.

Posted by "Charles N. Harvey III" <ch...@alloy.com>.

Two questions:

1) I can see from below what Jelly is, but what about Jexl?  And where
   would one find such products?  URL's anyone.  :)

2) Is there a page describing all the features of the 1.3 release.
   Things I was looking for are the url-loader and the tools.  I am assuming
   the tools is still a subproject in CVS, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
   (Yes, I'm lazy, I want all the pieces in one jar. :)


And congratulations on completing the build.  As everyone has said before,
it really is a great product.

Peaceful coexistence!  The more the merrier.  They are two different
things....

Jelly is an XML processing engine - the power comes from the tag library
model that allows you to extend the functionality via simple tag libraries,
in a similar way you extend Velocity through tools.  Jelly is cool.

Geir, do you see Jelly+Jexl replacing Velocity down the track, or will they

The honest truth here is that I got hosed for a while with my consulting
work.  Almost 7 days a week for about 6 months. The 1.3-rc1 release was done
when I was able to shake free for JavaOne, for example.  Lately, I've

Geir,

Many thanks for your dedication.  Ver 1.3 has been a while in coming, but I
believe we all understand how many last-minute details emerge just before
any major release.  The remarkable quality of the Velocity product could
simply not happen without your fantastic contribution, and that is very much
appreciated by us all.

Best regards,

Terry Steichen

1.4

The introspection problem is huge in 1.3, so that's warranting the 1.3.1  We
can follow right after with 1.4 the the tomcat 4 inspired fixes, but need to
get 1.3.x out there.

My tests indicate that Velocity 1.3 still generates a
ResourceNotFoundException when using ClasspathResourceLoader in Tomcat 4.

Any chance of that fix making it into 1.3.1 or 1.4-rc1? :-)

Thanks!

Yes - the fix for this will be in 1.4

We had started the 1.3 release process already, and it took a while. (And we

So once the 1.3.1 is out (I need to roll the tarball tonight), then we can
do a 1.4-rc1 so this fix will get out there.
