public class Runtime
extends Object
implements RuntimeConstants

This is the Runtime system for Velocity. It is the single access point for all functionality in Velocity. It adheres to the mediator pattern and is the only structure that developers need to be familiar with in order to get Velocity to perform. The Runtime will also cooperate with external systems like Turbine. Runtime properties can set and then the Runtime is initialized. Turbine for example knows where the templates are to be loaded from, and where the velocity log file should be placed. So in the case of Velocity cooperating with Turbine the code might look something like the following:

 Runtime.setProperty(Runtime.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH, templatePath);
 Runtime.setProperty(Runtime.RUNTIME_LOG, pathToVelocityLog);
 Runtime.init();
 

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 N O T E S  O N  R U N T I M E  I N I T I A L I Z A T I O N
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Runtime.init()

 If Runtime.init() is called by itself the Runtime will
 initialize with a set of default values.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Runtime.init(String/Properties)

 In this case the default velocity properties are layed down
 first to provide a solid base, then any properties provided
 in the given properties object will override the corresponding
 default property.

Method Detail

init

public static void init()
                 throws Exception

Deprecated.

This is the primary initialization method in the Velocity Runtime. The systems that are setup/initialized here are as follows:

• Logging System
• ResourceManager
• Parser Pool
• Global Cache
• Static Content Include System
• Velocimacro System

Throws:

Exception - When init fails for any reason.

setProperty

public static void setProperty(String key,
                               Object value)

Deprecated.

Allows an external system to set a property in the Velocity Runtime.

Parameters:

key - The property key.

value - The property value.

setConfiguration

public static void setConfiguration(ExtendedProperties configuration)

Deprecated.

Allow an external system to set an ExtendedProperties object to use. This is useful where the external system also uses the ExtendedProperties class and the velocity configuration is a subset of parent application's configuration. This is the case with Turbine.

Parameters:

configuration - A configuration object.

addProperty

public static void addProperty(String key,
                               Object value)

Deprecated.

Add a property to the configuration. If it already exists then the value stated here will be added to the configuration entry. For example, if resource.loader = file is already present in the configuration and you addProperty("resource.loader", "classpath") Then you will end up with a Vector like the following: ["file", "classpath"]

Parameters:

key - A property key.

value - The property value.

clearProperty

public static void clearProperty(String key)

Deprecated.

Clear the values pertaining to a particular property.

Parameters:

key - Name of the property to clear.

getProperty

public static Object getProperty(String key)

Deprecated.

Allows an external caller to get a property. The calling routine is required to know the type, as this routine will return an Object, as that is what properties can be.

Parameters:

key - property to return

Returns:

The property value or null.

init

public static void init(Properties p)
                 throws Exception

Deprecated.

Initialize the Velocity Runtime with a Properties object.

Parameters:

p - The properties used for initializiation.

Throws:

Exception - When a problem occurs during init.

init

public static void init(String configurationFile)
                 throws Exception

Deprecated.

Initialize the Velocity Runtime with the name of ExtendedProperties object.

Parameters:

configurationFile - The name of a properties file.

Throws:

Exception - When a problem occurs during init.

parse

public static SimpleNode parse(Reader reader,
                               String templateName)
                        throws ParseException

Deprecated.

Parse the input and return the root of AST node structure.

In the event that it runs out of parsers in the pool, it will create and let them be GC'd dynamically, logging that it has to do that. This is considered an exceptional condition. It is expected that the user will set the PARSER_POOL_SIZE property appropriately for their application. We will revisit this.

Parameters:

reader - A reader returning the template input stream.

templateName - name of the template being parsed

Returns:

The root node of an AST structure for the template input stream.

Throws:

ParseException - When the input stream is not parsable.

parse

public static SimpleNode parse(Reader reader,
                               String templateName,
                               boolean dumpNamespace)
                        throws ParseException

Deprecated.

Parse the input and return the root of the AST node structure.

Parameters:

reader - A reader returning the template input stream.

templateName - name of the template being parsed

dumpNamespace - flag to dump the Velocimacro namespace for this template.

Returns:

The root node of an AST structure for the template input stream.

Throws:

ParseException - When the input stream is not parsable.

getLoaderNameForResource

public static String getLoaderNameForResource(String resourceName)

Deprecated.

Determines is a template exists, and returns name of the loader that provides it. This is a slightly less hokey way to support the Velocity.templateExists() utility method, which was broken when per-template encoding was introduced. We can revisit this.
