Click Page Templates in class path (in addition to webRoot [sub- ]folders)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CLK-665
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-665
Project: Click
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 2.1.0
Reporter: Andrey Rybin
I have a large web application composed from several independent modules
packaged as separate .jar files in WEB-INF/lib.
Now Click force me to copy all my .htm files (Page Templates) to 'main'
module's webRoot folder (parent folder of WEB-INF), because Click look for
templates only in webRoot folder and its subfolders (see
XmlConfigService.getTemplateFiles), and then I have big htm midden in webRoot.
I can't make reusable just-drop-in jar-module for somebody else.
I have to make separate zip with htm templates with readme.txt with
instructions where to copy them.
Please! Add option to look Page templates in classpath too.

how I use Spring for building these separate jar with separate spring's xmls
into one application.
See also excellent article about this modular concept:
http://blogs.reucon.com/srt/2007/07/06/modular_spring_configuration.html
I.e. Click could look in (for example) META-INF/ClickPageTemplates for Page
mappings.
Then both Velocity and Freemarker can load templates from classpath.
PS: It looks like hand-made-OSGi.
PPS: See also
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-622 (~reversed situation: we have
.htm, but don't have class).
