Jakarta Velocity - A templating language as an alternative to JSPs

Presentation slides: Jakarta Velocity.pdf

Henning P. Schmiedehausen

Separating logic and presentation is the holy grail of application
development. But in most projects, developers must do the work of
designers and designers have to develop code.

Jakarta Velocity is an exciting alternative to the ubiquitous Java
Server pages, that dominate the View potion of web based applications
written in Java. Their integration in popular projects like Struts
gave a wider audience access to these technologies.

This talk gives an overview over the features of Velocity as a
templating language. Some code examples show the integration with your
own Java applications and using Velocity as View part for Struts and
Turbine is demonstrated.
