Thanks Paul for the example.
I believe it would be a similar approach to implement a VelocityViewProcessor, which uses Velocity to apply templates to a HTML file, right?
I started working on the VelocityViewProcessor, which basically does what VelocityViewServlet does for the most part. I will see if I can make this work. I will keep you posted.
