Call class methods

This Example shows you how to call class method in velocity template.
Steps used in the code given below :
1: Initialize velocity through method init().
2: Create object of VelocityContext Class.
3: Use put() method of Class VelocityContext through object 'ctx'.
4: Create the object of java.util.Date class
5: Set into velocity context
6: Then use this (Date) object in velocity template.

CallClassMethods.java

package velocity.ClassReference;



import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;



import org.apache.velocity.*;

import org.apache.velocity.app.*;



public class CallClassMethods {



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

  Velocity.init();

  Template t = 

Velocity.getTemplate("./src/velocity/ClassReference/ClassProperties.vm");



  VelocityContext ctx = new VelocityContext();



  ctx.put("date", new Date());

  Writer writer = new StringWriter();

  t.merge(ctx, writer);



  System.out.println(writer);

  }

}

ClassMethods.vm

Day: $date.getDate()

Month: $date.getMonth()

#set($year=$date.getYear()+1900)
