    + + How do I call Jelly from Java code? + +
    +
    + Try the following code. Note that the runScript() method below is overloaded and can take a File, URL etc. + +
      +// pass the output of the script somewhere
  +Writer someWriter = new FileWriter( "output.xml" );
  +XMLOutput output = XMLOutput.createXMLOutput( someWriter );
  +
  +// now run a script using a URL
  +JellyContext context = new JellyContext();
  +context.runScript( "foo.jelly", output );
    +     +
    +
    + +
    +
    + + How do I invoke Jelly from the command line? + +
    +
    + When you build a binary disitribution of Jelly, + there is a jelly script which works on Windows and Unixes to run Jelly. + You can create a binary distribution of Jelly via + + maven dist + +
    +
    + All you really need to do is to invoke the + org.apache.commons.jelly.Jelly class from the command line + with a correct classpath. +
    +
    +
    +
    + + How do I invoke Jelly from inside Ant? + +
    +
    + There is an Ant task that comes with the Ant library called + org.apache.commons.task.JellyTask which can be taskdef'd in any Ant script. +
    +
    + +
    +
    + + How do I invoke Jelly from inside Maven? + +
    +
    + Maven's maven.xml file is actually a Jelly script; so you can include any Jelly script + inside any of the Maven goals. So if you want to execute a specific Jelly script you can + just <j:include uri="foo.jelly" > it inside the maven.xml. +
