Hello all,

I'm a Velocity newbie and I need some help in two problems:

1- I'm using a template to a "one" line string. Because my template is huge,
it is not very easy to work with it. My question is if there is any way to
avoid the new line characters from the template file to the output. For
example, if I have "$firstvalue$secondvalue$thirdvalue" template can I
define the template like
$firstvalue
$secondvalue
$thirdvalue
Having the merge result in just one line.

2- It is possible to disable the Velocity log? If yes, How can I do it.

Thanks,

Paulo Moreira

Use the onle-line-comments to escape the EOL:
$firstvalue##
$secondvalue##
$thirdvalue##
## no EOL at the end of the file

I have a command line argument that selects the logger:
      if( args[i].equals("-quiet") )
        logger = "org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.NullLogSystem";
      else if( args[i].equals("-verbose") )
        logger = "...path.to.the.package...StderrLogSystem";
      ....
taken from:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-velocity/contrib/temporary/stderrlogsystem/StderrLogSystem.java?rev=1.1

and tell the VE to use it:
      velocity = new VelocityEngine();
      velocity.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS, logger);
before 
      velocity.init();

Or you can configure it in velocity.properties

Well... You could strip the characters out, or use a stream filter somehow,
I guess.

Not really disable, but you can force it to log into nothingness.

Assuming using the VelocityEngine rather than the Velocity singleton
(although the method calls are the same)

  ve.setProperty(Velocity.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS,
      "org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.NullLogSystem" );

Before ve.init().
