public class VelocityScreen

extends TemplateScreen

Base Velocity Screen. The buildTemplate() assumes the template parameter has been set in the RunData object. This provides the ability to execute several templates from one Screen.

If you need more specific behavior in your application, extend this class and override the doBuildTemplate() method.
