Veloctiy Without template

[Andy Smith]

I have worked with velocity, in which i need to make a Tempalte using a .vm file..that works fine for me...

Now i my scenario, i dont have any physical file, i m retriveing the contents from some where else and is store in a StringBuffer....

Now how can i process my StringBuffer(in place of.vm file) in this case...
any help would be appreciated

Try this:

StringBuffer yourTemplate = ...;
java.io.Reader input = new StringReader(yourTemplate.toString());
java.io.Writer output = new FileWriter("foo.txt");
evaluate(yourVelocityContext, output, "yourLogTag", input);
