Velocity's 9th application example --- format date

$dateformat.format("yyyy-MM-dd",$date)



//2 Create a Context object

VelocityContext context = newVelocityContext();

//3 Add you data object to this context

context.put("date", new Date());

//扩展功能，提供一个日期格式工具类，在模板中调用其方法即可。

context.put("dateformat", newDateUtils());

//4 Choose a template

Template template =Velocity.getTemplate("formatedate.vm");

//5 Merge the template and you data toproduce the output

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();

template.merge(context, sw);

sw.flush();

System.out.println(sw.toString());
