How to use velocity tools from a non-web-application
Hi,
I'm using Velocity as an embedded template engine for some code generation
in an application. I tried hard to convert a String to an Integer value (so
that I can use it in a simple calculation), but could not do that either
when wrapped attributes in a class with a toInteger() method.
Anyway, I've noticed that there is a tool for that (generic math tool). Is
it possible to use it in my app (the sample projects on the download archive
of velocity-tools are all web application who refer to an XML file through
web.xml). How can I refer to toolbox.xml?
Thanks.

For now, Manish is right. Just do context.put("math", new
MathTool());. I am planning to add a "standalone" toolbox loader for
automatic tool loading in non-webapp situations, but i haven't gotten
around to that yet.

In a non web application you can simply add an instance of any required tool to
the Velocty context & can use it in your template.
