Velosuf (for velocity & database) - http://velosurf.sourceforge.net/

Is it feasible to use velosurf with Struts/Velocity paradigm. Anybody doing this? Some design restrictions require me to use struts action for every link on web page so that it passes through the custom request processor that we have. So need to know about this feasibility before I look into more details. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

TIA,

I never heard of this project until you pointed me to it. Is this a ORM tool? Does the view directly manipulate the database?
If you have gone through the documentation, would be great if you could tell us why you chose this tool over say velocity(view only) + struts + hibernate.

I never heard of Velosuf either, is it a tool to help velocity integrate with databases?

This is what the web page posted by Manesh says in the first sentence:
Velosurf is a java library that provides an automated but highly customizable database mapping tool for the Velocity Template engine.

In other words, yes, apparently Velosurf helps in integrating Velocity templates with a database.
