Need a clarification in VelocityEngine initialization

[Dishara Wijewardana <dd...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
I just want to verify this as this is a bit confusing to me.

Suppose I want to construct a velocity engine with some properties. Typical
way to do this in velocity is

VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
ve.init(property_file_name)

Why velocity have both the constructors as well as init overridden.

Hence as I feel, above is same as

VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine(property_file_name);
ve.init();

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

Yes, it does the same.

But one could do:

  VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine(defaultProperties);

in one place, and:

  ve.init(instanceProperties)

in another.
