blojsom, Velocity, and FreeMarker
« Andy Hertzfeld on Blogging and Podcasting | Main | Category Template plugin for blojsom »
A user on our mailing list wrote in asking about disabling Velocity because his host didn't allow Velocity. It'd be nice if they'd revisit the issue since it's been almost a year and a half and Velocity has changed a bit since August of 2003. That forum page is light on details.
And yes, Velocity can be disabled in blojsom. blojsom, "out of the box", allows you to use JSP or Velocity to develop templates. The add-on bundle available for blojsom also adds two dispatchers where you can use FreeMarker or Groovy to write templates for blojsom. The web administration console pages are written in Velocity, so if you really needed to rip Velocity the hell out of there, you could convert the pages to FreeMarker syntax along with the template macros and you'd be good to go.
