I am using the VelocityViewServlet. I tried specifying the template
folder as part of setting the default path in this code:
protected ExtendedProperties loadConfiguration(ServletConfig
config)
throws
IOException {
ExtendedProperties p = new ExtendedProperties();
String path = config.getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
if (path == null){
path = "/";
}
p.setProperty(Velocity.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH,
path+"\\templates\\");
return p;
}
But that didn't seem to work. If I put all the templates in the webapp
root, everything is dandy but it does not seem to like the way I am
specifying the template path. Also, I had to put the double backslashes
because I am on a windows env.
BTW, I searched for the WebappLoader tool but could not find it. Could
you send me the URL? Thanks.

Subject: Re: Velocity template file path
- What servlet are you using? The VelocityServlet (which is
deprecated) or the VelocityViewServlet (which is part of VelocityTools
and is the replacement for the VelocityServlet)?
- Use of the FileResourceLoader in a webapp environment is not
recommended. The VelocityTools project comes with a WebappLoader that
is much better for webapps.
- If your templates are in /webapp/templates, then that is where you
should point the resource loader; it would not be enough to point it
at the webapp root and expect it to look for a "templates" folder
automatically.
- For examples of how to configure and use the VelocityViewServlet,
you might consider checking out the example applications that come
with VelocityTools.
