Hi Manu,
In turbine, velocity looks for the templates specified in the
TurbineResources.properties file of your web app. In turbine2.1, the
setting is like:
services.VelocityService.file.resource.loader.path = /templates
If there are more directories that contain your templates then you can
include additional ones with a comma, like:
services.VelocityService.file.resource.loader.path =
/templates,/moretemplates,/evenmoretemplates
The template paths specified by this setting is relative to the webapp
root (e.g. <tomcat_root>/webapps/my_webapp).
Hope this helps,
Dan
