Velocity Iterator Tool Example

This Example shows you how to use Iterator in velocity template. The method used in this example are described below:-

1:- Initialize velocity run time engine through method init().
2:- Create object of VelocityContext Class.
3:- Create Template class object, Template class object is used for controlling template methods and properties.

template.merge(context, writer): Merge method of the Template class is used here for merging the VelocityContext class object to produce the output. Template class object is used for controlling template methods and properties.

#set($list = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]): This is a statement named 'set', generally begins with # character. Here we have assign the list with character $.

#foreach($items in $item): This is just same as the for loop statement of java.

IteratorClass.java

import java.io.*;



import org.apache.velocity.*;

import org.apache.velocity.app.*;

import org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.*;



public class IteratorClass {



  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

  Velocity.init();



  Template template = Velocity.getTemplate("./src/Iterator.vm");



  VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();

  context.put("var", new IteratorClass());



  Writer writer = new StringWriter();

  template.merge(context, writer);



  System.out.println(writer);

  }

}

Iterator.vm

#set($list = ["A", "B", "C", "D"])



#set($item = $var.wrap($list))



#foreach($items in $item)

  #if($velocityCount <= 3)

  $item.more()

  #end

#end

Output:

A
