Change ResourceLoader.getResourceStream to getResourceReader
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-793
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-793
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Engine
Reporter: Christopher Schultz
Fix For: 2.x
It would be nice to use Readers instead of InputStreams for templates.
Velocity is all about text-based rendering, so the templates are certainly
going to be text-based. Using a Reader allows individual readers to determine
the character encoding if necessary (say, from a database) and not have another
component second-guess them.
Of course, this is a serious change to the API. We could possible re-implement
getResourceStream to read a Reader and provide bytes as backward-compatibility
with older client code, but since we're going to 2.0, this would be the time to
make breaking changes to the API.
