Apache Velocity:是否有一种从命令行验证模板正确性的标准方法?

标签: java apache velocity

我们的网站使用Apache Velocity模板语言。我们的内容管理系统已经检查了所有生成的XML文档是否格式良好。在将文件推送到实际站点之前,我们已经被要求检查文档以捕获Velocity语法错误。

是否有一种从命令行验证Velocity模板正确性的标准方法?

我准备在模板路径中读取,初始化Velocity Engine,解析模板并捕获任何错误as shown on this page,但是如果有一个现成的工具来获取文件和配置,并吐出任何错误,我宁愿使用它。

这是我最终做的事情:

有一个名为TemplateTool的Velocity分发工具,它转储所有引用,并可用于验证模板的语法。

但是,您必须正确设置上下文才能验证任何模板。因此,最好的验证是使用您自己的上下文编写自己的工具。

要捕捉Velocity语法错误,您的方法可能是最好的。

但是,它将忽略无效的宏参数和不存在的引用。在Velocity 1.6中,你可以设置一个严格的模式,它会为坏的宏参数(例如错误的数字)或坏的引用(例如$ abc.badMethod())抛出异常。这假设您正在填充测试工具中使用的模板的上下文,就像在生产中使用模板时一样。

2010年12月,有人发布了验证Velocity的工具。我尝试了它,它工作正常。它使用Velocity 1.6.4,但如果需要,也许可以将其替换为不同的版本。
