Hi,
Any VelocityViewServlet users out there want to comment on Xabier's
email? Did Xabier set up his velocity.properties correctly?
Xabier-- you might want to send a reminder note a day or two after the
holiday weekend, try again...

First of all I'd like to say hello everyone, since I'm new to the

I'm a newcommer to the velocity templating system and I'm having some
trouble. I've setup Tomcat 5.5.2 and compiled Velocity 1.5 beta 2 and
VelocityTools 1.2. I've created a servlet that extends
VelocityViewServlet:
public class index extends VelocityViewServlet
{
public Template handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Context context)
throws ParseErrorException, ResourceNotFoundException
{
Template tpl = null;
context.put("name","Xabi");
try
{
tpl = super.getTemplate ("test.vm");
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
tpl.merge (context,writer);
}
catch (ResourceNotFoundException rnfd)
{
System.out.println ("<p>Error: No se encontró la
plantilla</p>");
rnfd.printStackTrace (System.out);
}
catch (ParseErrorException perrex)
{
System.out.println ("<p>Error: Fallo parseando la
plantilla</p>");
perrex.printStackTrace (System.out);
}
catch (Exception ex){}
return tpl;
}
I've also added the corresponding servlet mappings in my web.xml:
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee

<url-pattern>*.vm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>
30
</session-timeout>
</session-config>
</web-app>
And also created a velocity.properties file in
/WEB-INF/velocity.properties:
resource.loader = webapp
webapp.resource.loader.class =
org.apache.velocity.tools.view.servlet.WebappLoader
webapp.resource.loader.path=/templates
webapp.resource.loader.cache = true
runtime.log=/WEB-INF/logs/velocity.log
input.encoding=UTF-8
output.encoding=UTF-8
And created a very simple template called test.vm in
/MyAppRoot/templates/test.vm:
<?xhtml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
THIS IS A TEST:</br>
Hello $name
</body>
</html>
But whenever I go to http://localhost:8080/myapp , I only get a blank
page.
Digging into Tomcat logs, I've found this:

Witch for me indicates that the templates path I setup in
resource.loader is readed correctly but for some reason I don't know
whenever I return the template, it's searched in the AppRoot folder.
Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this?
P.S: Sorry about the long mail, but I thought giving more information
would be better.
