Velocity: Fast Track to Templating
Velocity is a fast and easy-to-use Java-based templating engine. Velocity's speed, ease of use, and flexibility contribute to its use in a broad range of applications, including code generation, email templating, and web user-interface creation. This article first introduces Velocity with a simple, easy-to-run example, then briefly covers the templating syntax, and ends with a full-featured and detailed look at Velocity in action for templating automated emails. Dec. 16, 2003
