Class Runtime

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RuntimeConstants

    public class Runtime
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements RuntimeConstants
    Deprecated.
    Use RuntimeInstance or RuntimeSingleton instead.
    This is the Runtime system for Velocity. It is the single access point for all functionality in Velocity. It adheres to the mediator pattern and is the only structure that developers need to be familiar with in order to get Velocity to perform. The Runtime will also cooperate with external systems like Turbine. Runtime properties can set and then the Runtime is initialized. Turbine for example knows where the templates are to be loaded from, and where the velocity log file should be placed. So in the case of Velocity cooperating with Turbine the code might look something like the following:
     Runtime.setProperty(Runtime.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH, templatePath);
     Runtime.setProperty(Runtime.RUNTIME_LOG, pathToVelocityLog);
     Runtime.init();

     N O T E S  O N  R U N T I M E  I N I T I A L I Z A T I O N
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Runtime.init()
    
     If Runtime.init() is called by itself the Runtime will
     initialize with a set of default values.
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Runtime.init(String/Properties)
    
     In this case the default velocity properties are layed down
     first to provide a solid base, then any properties provided
     in the given properties object will override the corresponding
     default property.

      • init

        public static void init()
                         throws java.lang.Exception
        Deprecated.
        This is the primary initialization method in the Velocity Runtime. The systems that are setup/initialized here are as follows:
        • Logging System
        • ResourceManager
        • Parser Pool
        • Global Cache
        • Static Content Include System
        • Velocimacro System
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - When init fails for any reason.
      • setProperty

        public static void setProperty​(java.lang.String key,
                                       java.lang.Object value)
        Deprecated.
        Allows an external system to set a property in the Velocity Runtime.
        Parameters:
        key - The property key.
        value - The property value.
      • setConfiguration

        public static void setConfiguration​(org.apache.commons.collections.ExtendedProperties configuration)
        Deprecated.
        Allow an external system to set an ExtendedProperties object to use. This is useful where the external system also uses the ExtendedProperties class and the velocity configuration is a subset of parent application's configuration. This is the case with Turbine.
        Parameters:
        configuration - A configuration object.
      • addProperty

        public static void addProperty​(java.lang.String key,
                                       java.lang.Object value)
        Deprecated.
        Add a property to the configuration. If it already exists then the value stated here will be added to the configuration entry. For example, if resource.loader = file is already present in the configuration and you addProperty("resource.loader", "classpath") Then you will end up with a Vector like the following: ["file", "classpath"]
        Parameters:
        key - A property key.
        value - The property value.
      • clearProperty

        public static void clearProperty​(java.lang.String key)
        Deprecated.
        Clear the values pertaining to a particular property.
        Parameters:
        key - Name of the property to clear.
      • getProperty

        public static java.lang.Object getProperty​(java.lang.String key)
        Deprecated.
        Allows an external caller to get a property. The calling routine is required to know the type, as this routine will return an Object, as that is what properties can be.
        Parameters:
        key - property to return
        Returns:
        The property value or null.
      • init

        public static void init​(java.util.Properties p)
                         throws java.lang.Exception
        Deprecated.
        Initialize the Velocity Runtime with a Properties object.
        Parameters:
        p - The properties used for initializiation.
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - When a problem occurs during init.
      • init

                         throws java.lang.Exception
        Deprecated.
        Initialize the Velocity Runtime with the name of ExtendedProperties object.
        Parameters:

      • parse

        public static SimpleNode parse​(java.io.Reader reader,

        Deprecated.
        Parse the input and return the root of AST node structure.

        In the event that it runs out of parsers in the pool, it will create and let them be GC'd dynamically, logging that it has to do that. This is considered an exceptional condition. It is expected that the user will set the PARSER_POOL_SIZE property appropriately for their application. We will revisit this.
        Parameters:
        reader - A reader returning the template input stream.
        templateName - name of the template being parsed
        Returns:
        The root node of an AST structure for the template input stream.
        Throws:
        ParseException - When the input stream is not parsable.
