- For VelocityTools 1.2, you might want to apply this patch to set the VelocityEngine so tools like ViewRenderTool will work.
- It would be great if we could inject Velocity tools from the Spring context. See JIRA SPR-980.
- You can hard code tools by subclassing and overriding VelocityView#exposeHelpers. (Maarten Bosteels)
- Layout support is provided by VelocityLayoutView.
- You might want to apply this patch if you want to configure the layout using a VelocityViewResolver type view resolver.
