Spring Velocity integration

This exam covers a topic of the integration the Spring framework with the Velocity templating engine. The latter fusion may be used to provide a view layer alternative to the JSP in the Spring-based web applications. Please note that Velocity and VTL itselvs are covered by the separated exams. We focus here only on the integration issues.
