Velosurf is a - thin but powerfull - database abstraction layer tool for the 
Jakarta Velocity template engine, written in Java.

It provides to writters of templates access to entities and attributes of their 
database model and content.

Goals are :
 - ease of use
 - intuitive syntax
 - performances

Standard usage for a web site make use of the VelosurfServlet and allows to 
access a database from Velocity templates without writting a single line of 
Java.

Sample template code :

----------------------------------------
## \"Out of the box\" usage
 
Workers :
#foreach ($worker in $db.worker)
    Name : $worker.firstname $worker.lastname
        position : $db.position.fetch([$worker.position_id]).name
        boss : $db.worker.fetch([$worker.boss_id]).lastname
#end
 
## when defining foreign keys in the .def file as follow :
##    worker.boss = worker(boss_id)
##    worker.position = position(position_id)
## or directly in the template as follow :
#set ($db.worker.boss = \"worker(boss_id)\") 
#set ($db.worker.position = \"position(position_id)\") 
## the preceding example can be rewritten as :
 
Workers :
#foreach ($worker in $db.worker)
    Name : $worker.firstname $worker.lastname
        position : $worker.position.name
        boss : $worker.boss.lastname
#end
----------------------------------------
