title: Calling class methods (static) from inside a velocity view page
body: <p>Can you call class methods from inside a view page?  </p>
  
  <p>Specifically ones that are not passed into the view?</p>
  
  <p>In asp.net MVC I can do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= SomeClass.FixDateFormat(ViewData.Model.SomeClass.DateCreated) %&gt;
  </code></pre>
