Class VelocityEngineFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
org.apache.velocity.spring.VelocityEngineFactory
org.apache.velocity.spring.VelocityEngineFactoryBean
All Implemented Interfaces:
org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<VelocityEngine>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.context.ResourceLoaderAware

public class VelocityEngineFactoryBean extends VelocityEngineFactory implements org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean<VelocityEngine>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.context.ResourceLoaderAware
Factory bean that configures a VelocityEngine and provides it as bean reference. This bean is intended for any kind of usage of Velocity in application code, e.g. for generating email content. For web views, VelocityConfigurer is used to set up a VelocityEngine for views.

The simplest way to use this class is to specify a "resourceLoaderPath"; you do not need any further configuration then. For example, in a web application context:

 <bean id="velocityEngine" class="org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactoryBean">
   <property name="resourceLoaderPath" value="/WEB-INF/velocity/"/>
 </bean>
See the base class VelocityEngineFactory for configuration details.
