Thanks a lot for that starting point. After some struggling with different
tomcat and JDK versions, I finally managed to get it running.
Is there any way to feed the result generated by Velocity back in the
Struts engine? I'd like to generate Struts pages (with taglibs and
other stuff) via Velocity.
Or is this a too broken design?
Thanks for your help,
Erich

It is not threadsafe. You can reuse them, but a VelocityContext should
only be running down through one template at a time. So if you have to,
pool them.

Forget about web/servlets for a moment. I'm using Velocity in a mail
templating system. (try _that_ with JSP!) I have a very basic question:
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
Is the VelocityContext object threadsafe? Or do I have to instantiate one
for each call to the template I want?
Thanks for any insights.

Hm. I have used Velocity as a filter stage in a kind of iterative
XSLT-based content engine, and from that have come to believe that
anything is possible.
Can you give a short example of what you are trying to do? (real
short...)
