| Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits web page designers |
| to use simple yet powerful template language to reference objects |
| defined in Java code. Web designers can work in parallel with Java |
| programmers to develop web sites according to the Model-View-Controller |
| (MVC) model, meaning that web page designers can focus solely on creating |
| a site that looks good, and programmers can focus solely on writing |
| top-notch code. Velocity separates Java code from the web pages, |
| making the web site more maintainable over the long run and providing |
| a viable alternative to |
| <A href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/">Java Server Pages</A> |
| (JSPs) or <A href="http://www.php.net/">PHP</A>. |
| </P> |
| |
| <P align="justify"> |
| Velocity's capabilities reach well beyond the realm of web sites; for |
| example, it can generate SQL or PostScript from templates. |
| It can be used either as a standalone utility for generating |
| source code and reports, or as an integrated component of other systems. |
| When complete, Velocity will provide template services for the |
| <A href="http://java.apache.org/turbine/">Turbine</A> |
| web application framework. Velocity-Turbine will provide |
| a template service that will allow web applications to be developed |
| according to a true MVC model. |
