org.apache.velocity.tools.view.XMLToolboxManager

A ToolboxManager for loading a toolbox from xml.

A toolbox manager is responsible for automatically filling the Velocity context with a set of view tools. This class provides the following features:

configurable through an XML-based configuration file
assembles a set of view tools (the toolbox) on request
supports any class with a public constructor without parameters to be used as a view tool
supports adding primitive data values to the context(String,Number,Boolean)

Configuration

The toolbox manager is configured through an XML-based configuration file. The configuration file is passed to the {@link #load(java.io.InputStream input)}method. The format is shown in the following example:

 <?xml version="1.0"?> <toolbox> <tool> <key>date</key> <class>org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.DateTool</class> </tool> <data type="Number"> <key>luckynumber</key> <value>1.37</value> </data> <data type="String"> <key>greeting</key> <value>Hello World!</value> </data> </toolbox>
