How to use List in velocity

     

This Example shows you how to use List in velocity. 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.

#foreach( $stu in $stuList ): This is like the for loop statement but it has some different and enhanced functionality.

 

 

 

java.MapClass.java

import java.io.*; import java.util.*; import org.apache.velocity.*; import org.apache.velocity.app.*; public class ListClass {   public static void main(String[] args)   throws Exception {   VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();   ve.init();   ArrayList list = new ArrayList();   Map map = new HashMap();   map.put("rno", "1");   map.put("name", "komal");   map.put("libno", 1001);   list.add(map);   map = new HashMap();   map.put("rno", "2");   map.put("name", "santosh");   map.put("libno", 1002);   list.add(map);   map = new HashMap();   map.put("rno", "3");   map.put("name", "ajay");   map.put("libno", 1003);   list.add(map);   VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();   context.put("stuList", list);   Template t = ve.getTemplate("./src/velocity/XMLOutput/xml.vm");   StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();   t.merge(context, writer);   System.out.println(writer.toString());   } }

map.vm

Student: #foreach( $stu in $stuList )     $stu.rno   $stu.name   $stu.libno #end

Output :

Student: 1 komal 1001 2 Santosh 1002 3 Ajay 1003
