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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
