It depends on the contents of your velocity file. If your velocity file contains no variables that need replaced by the velocity engine and is simply an html page then the answer is yes. You simply need to place the file in a directory that is accessible via url. I'm assuming you have an images folder or some other folder where you can currently access image from e.g. <img src="myserver:8983/images/myimage.png"/> You would simply put your velocity file in a similar directory and reference it http://myserver:8983/static/velocityfile.vm. You would also need to make sure your server is configured to send the proper content-type headers for such a request (map .vm extensions to content-type text/html).
If your velocity file is not static and has variables or velocity code that needs processed then your best bet might be to create a filter such that urls of *.vm get processed by this filter and the results spit out. -----Original Message----- From: phi...@free.fr [mailto:phi...@free.fr] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 8:13 AM To: Velocity Users List Subject: Re: Standalone pages Hi Erik, thank you for your reply. However, come to think of it, my question is not SOLR-specific. I would like to know if it is possible to create lightweight Web pages with Velocity, in Tomcat, without resorting to servlets, JSP, etc. In other words, can you add a Velocity template to a Tomcat server as easily as you can drop a .php file in an Apache server's DocumentRoot directory. Many thanks.

How Solr uses Velocity is perhaps a bit niche/different, so best to ask over on the Solr user list for future questions about the Solr/Velocity integration. But I’m on both lists :) Erik On Oct 9, 2014, at 4:19 AM, phi...@free.fr wrote: > Hello, > > I am using currently the Velocity templates that come with the example > provided with SOLR, in Tomcat 7. > > I would like to add a Velocity template called test.vm, in the > example/solr/mycollection directory, to display an HTML page containing an > image. > > Unfortunately, the following URL > > http://myserver:8983/solr/mycollection/test > > returns a 404 error. > > http://myserver:8983/solr/mycollection/browse > > works, though. > > How does one create "standalone" Velocity pages, such as test.vm? > > Many thanks. > > Philippe > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@velocity.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@velocity.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@velocity.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@velocity.apache.org
