org.apache.struts2.result

## Class VelocityResult

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.struts2.result.StrutsResultSupport
  - - org.apache.struts2.result.VelocityResult

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Result, Serializable, StrutsStatics

      public class VelocityResult
      extends StrutsResultSupport

  Using the Servlet container's `JspFactory`, this result mocks a JSP execution environment and then displays a Velocity template that will be streamed directly to the servlet output.

  This result type takes the following parameters:

  - location (default) - the location of the template to process.
  - parse - true by default. If set to false, the location param will not be parsed for Ognl expressions.

  This result follows the same rules from `StrutsResultSupport`.

  Example:

       <result name="success" type="velocity">
         <param name="location">foo.vm</param>
       </result>

                       ActionInvocation invocation)
                         throws Exception

      Creates a Velocity context from the action, loads a Velocity template and executes the template. Output is written to the servlet output stream.
      Specified by:
        `doExecute` in class `StrutsResultSupport`
      Parameters:
        `finalLocation` - the location of the Velocity template
        `invocation` - an encapsulation of the action execution state.
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if an error occurs when creating the Velocity context, loading or executing the template or writing output to the servlet response stream.

    - #### getContentType

          protected String getContentType(String templateLocation)

      Retrieve the content type for this template.

      People can override this method if they want to provide specific content types for specific templates (eg text/xml).

      Parameters:
        `templateLocation` - location of template
      Returns:
        The content type associated with this template (default "text/html")

    - #### getEncoding

          protected String getEncoding(String templateLocation)

      Retrieve the encoding for this template.

      People can override this method if they want to provide specific encodings for specific templates.

      Parameters:
        `templateLocation` - location of template
      Returns:
        The encoding associated with this template (defaults to the value of 'struts.i18n.encoding' property)

    - #### getTemplate

          protected org.apache.velocity.Template getTemplate(ValueStack stack,
                                                 org.apache.velocity.app.VelocityEngine velocity,
                                                 ActionInvocation invocation,
                                                 String location,
                                                 String encoding)

      Given a value stack, a Velocity engine, and an action invocation, this method returns the appropriate Velocity template to render.
      Parameters:
        `stack` - the value stack to resolve the location again (when parse equals true)
        `velocity` - the velocity engine to process the request against
        `invocation` - an encapsulation of the action execution state.
        `location` - the location of the template
        `encoding` - the charset encoding of the template
