Using Date formatiing with velocity-tools-1.2

[Anagha <an...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I'm newbie to velocity and trying out examples.I have been trying to get the
generic velocity tools to work with my java application.
I included velocity-tools-generic-1.2.jar in my classpath and modified "
example.vm" (from app_example1) only to insert "$date".

I found that after merge it's printed as "$date" only instead of actual
today's date.

I don't to intend use servlets at all. I only want to use Velocity Generic
Tools in the templates.

Any help is appreciated.

Sorry my fault,
I should have put the key as
context.put("date", new DateTool());
in a Java application and then access it in the template.
Now it works fine.
