What do you want to know about Velocity, is already integrated in Struts 2. You might want to use tags in velocity type results. You can learn more about it reading Velocity Tags.

Velocity tags are extensions of the generic Struts Tags provided by the framework. You can get jump right in just by knowing the structure in which the tags can be accessed: #s<tag> (...), where tag is any of the Struts Tags supported by the framework.
