public static  void addProperty(String key,
    Object value) 
{
        ri.addProperty( key, value );
}

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"]

 public static boolean addVelocimacro(String name,
    String macro,
    String[] argArray,
    String sourceTemplate) 
{
        return ri.addVelocimacro( name, macro, argArray, sourceTemplate );
}

Adds a new Velocimacro. Usually called by Macro only while parsing.

{
        getLog().debug(message);
}

 public static boolean dumpVMNamespace(String namespace)

        return ri.getContent( name );
}

Returns a static content resource from the resource manager. Uses the current value if INPUT_ENCODING as the character encoding.

 public static String getLoaderNameForResource(String resourceName) 
{
        return ri.getLoaderNameForResource( resourceName );
}

Determines is a template exists, and returns name of the loader that provides it. This is a slightly less hokey way to support the Velocity.templateExists() utility method, which was broken when per-template encoding was introduced. We can revisit this.

 public static Log getLog() 
{
        return ri.getLog();
}

Returns a convenient Log instance that wraps the current LogChute.

 public static Object getProperty(String key) 
{
        return ri.getProperty( key );
}

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.

 public static RuntimeInstance getRuntimeInstance() 
{
        return ri;
}

 public static RuntimeServices getRuntimeServices() 
{
        return ri;
}

Returns the RuntimeServices Instance used by this wrapper.

 public static String getString(String key) 
{
        return ri.getString( key );
}

String property accessor method to hide the configuration implementation

 public static String getString(String key,
    String defaultValue) 
{
        return ri.getString( key, defaultValue );
}

String property accessor method with default to hide the configuration implementation.

 public static Template getTemplate(String name) throws Exception, ResourceNotFoundException, ParseErrorException 
{
        return ri.getTemplate( name );
}

Returns a Template from the resource manager. This method assumes that the character encoding of the template is set by the input.encoding property. The default is "ISO-8859-1"

 public static Template getTemplate(String name,
    String encoding) throws Exception, ResourceNotFoundException, ParseErrorException 
{
        return ri.getTemplate( name, encoding );
}

Returns a Template from the resource manager

 public static Uberspect getUberspect() 
{
        return ri.getUberspect();
}

Returns the Uberspect object for this Instance.

 public static Directive getVelocimacro(String vmName,
    String templateName) 
{
        return ri.getVelocimacro( vmName, templateName );
}

Returns the appropriate VelocimacroProxy object if strVMname is a valid current Velocimacro.

 public static  void info(Object message) 
{
        getLog().info(message);
}

 public static synchronized  void init() throws Exception 
{
                                                                     
        ri.init();
}

This is the primary initialization method in the Velocity Runtime. The systems that are setup/initialized here are as follows:
• Logging System
• ResourceManager
• Event Handlers
• Parser Pool
• Global Cache
• Static Content Include System
• Velocimacro System

 public static  void init(Properties p) throws Exception 
{
        ri.init(p);
}

Initialize the Velocity Runtime with a Properties object.

{
        ri.init( configurationFile );
}

Initialize the Velocity Runtime with the name of ExtendedProperties object.

 public static boolean isInitialized() 
{
        return ri.isInitialized();
}

Returns true if the RuntimeInstance has been successfully initialized.

 public static boolean isVelocimacro(String vmName,
    String templateName) 
{
        return ri.isVelocimacro( vmName, templateName );
}

 public static SimpleNode parse(Reader reader,
    String templateName) throws ParseException 
{
        return ri.parse( reader, templateName );
}

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.

 public static SimpleNode parse(Reader reader,
    String templateName,
    boolean dumpNamespace) throws ParseException 
{
        return ri.parse( reader, templateName, dumpNamespace );
}

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

 public static  void setConfiguration(ExtendedProperties configuration) 
{
        ri.setConfiguration( configuration );
}

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.

 public static  void setProperty(String key,
    Object value) 
{
        ri.setProperty( key, value );
}

Allows an external system to set a property in the Velocity Runtime.
