'Compiling' Velocity pages

[One Way <on...@yahoo.com>]

Is there a way to 'compile' a Velocity page (for the purpose of
verifying it for errors) without loading the page in to the browser?

Thanks in advance

Good answer - however, if all you want to do is verify the syntax, then
you don't even need to worry abou the context - just do a getTemplate()
on every template you care about, and it will be parsed...

Since there was no other answer, let me try to answer it though I
am definitely not a Velocity expert.

You can always instantiate a template with some 'typical' context and
execute it. If there was no exception, you may consider it as a 'go'. Then
you can iterate all the templates in your collection and test them 
one by one.

The trick is to be able to construct a typical context for each of the 
template in your collection.

Does this make sense ?
