What are the properties required to initialize Velocity Engine

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

Hi all,
I was searching last couple of days on how to find what properties should
be given to VelocityEngine#init(Properties)  to initialize the velocity
engine.
But I could not find a proper place. Is there any sample to run or some
documentation to  understand this (how to initialize velocity engine) ?

Hi Dishara.

The properties file with comes with src code is the default properties
file, so it's already used, no need to give it to Velocity again. One
will need to specify custom properties each time he has custom needs,
like changing the default encoding, using another resource loader,
etc... Every property is detailed in the documentation.

Your "incorrect syntax" is a perfectly valid syntax for Velocity, it's
just that it doesn't recognize it as a comment, it will then consider
it as text to be displayed as is to the output. You need some more
effort to find an incorrect syntax that will throw an exception - but
that's not so hard.

Hi
I used the property file which comes with src code, under velocity examples
module. And it ran without any exceptions.
But even though I evaluated a script code which is a comment (i.e ## this
is a comment) . But I gave incorrect syntax to the comment (i. e --- this
is a comment)
and it still returns true .Not sure why.
