/****************

Claude Brisson <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: Package: Velosurf
System name: velosurf
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

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
----------------------------------------


It already exists and you can download the latest distribution at
