    Hi all, mostly Mike,

    Is the Velocity engine in WOLips accessible, possibly via Ant?

    Here's what I'm trying to do: I am working on a Java Client project
    where the client-side classes have several methods that are exactly
    the same as the server-side version (Validation, Defaults, etc) and I
    don't want to maintain them in two places, and using a common
    subclass for both is not viable because I have to have the client-
    side and server-side classes need to extend different superclasses.

    So that leaves me with either duplicating code (and bugs) and dealing
    with keeping them in sync, or figuring out a way to have the methods
    automatically synced. This is where velocity comes in.

    I'd like to flag each "common" method as needing to be copied to the
    client-side class and then have a Velocity template that would read
    them out of the server-side and copy them into the client-side
    _Entity class. I would want to execute this step following any
    EOGeneration of my client-side .eotemplate files.

    Again, the end goal is to maintain "common" methods in one location
    and have them automatically propagated as part of a build.

    Thanks,

    Dave
