Spring View which supports the Velocity Tools 2.0 sub-project. Configured using the Spring Bean xml snippet below.

VelocityTools2View.java

public class VelocityTools2View extends VelocityLayoutView {

	private ViewToolManager toolManager;

	@Override
	protected Context createVelocityContext (Map<String, Object> model,
	                                         HttpServletRequest request,
	                                         HttpServletResponse response) {
		ToolContext toolContext = toolManager.createContext(request, response);
		VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext(toolContext);
		if (model != null) context.putAll(model.entrySet());
		return context;
	}

	@Override
	public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
		super.afterPropertiesSet();
		XmlFactoryConfiguration config = new XmlFactoryConfiguration();
		config.read(getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(getToolboxConfigLocation()));
		boolean autoConfigure = false;
		boolean includeDefaults = false;
		toolManager = new ViewToolManager(getServletContext(), autoConfigure, includeDefaults);
		toolManager.configure(config);
		toolManager.setVelocityEngine(getVelocityEngine());
	}
}

webmvc-config.xml

  <bean id="velocityViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityLayoutViewResolver">
    ...
    <property name="viewClass" value="com.eo3.lib.spring.VelocityTools2View"/>
    <property name="toolboxConfigLocation" value="/WEB-INF/velocity-tools.xml"/>
    ...
  </bean>

Note that

• I'm extending the VelocityLayoutView but could equally extend VelocityToolboxView
• context.putAll(model.entrySet()) was enabled by extending VelocityContext with my own version
