I found a solution. I subclassed VelocitylayoutServlet and overrode
doRequest method as follows. I am assuming you have set up your Java web
server (e.g. Tomcat) to send all content thru this servlet. This servlet
then farms requests to *.vm to Velocity layout infrastructure, and for all
other requests, it streams binary content from classpath tot the browser.
public class MyVelocityLayoutServlet extends VelocityLayoutServlet {
/**
* Override doRequest, to handle static content
*/
protected void doRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String path = ServletUtils.getPath(request);
String mt=getServletContext().getMimeType(path);
//if (mt!=null) response.setContentType(mt);
String extension = "vm";
if (path.indexOf(".") >= 0) {
String[] pathArr = path.split("\\.");
extension = pathArr[pathArr.length - 1].toLowerCase();
}
if (extension.equals("vm")) {
log.trace("Sending to VelocityLayoutServlet: Path=" + path + ";
MIME-type=" + mt + "; extension=" + extension);
super.doRequest(request, response);
} else {
log.trace("Streaming to browser: Path=" + path + "; MIME-type="
+ mt + "; extension=" + extension);
response.setContentType(mt);
InputStream in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream (path);
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
int b;
try {
while ((b = in.read()) != -1) {
out.write(b);
}
} finally {
if (in != null) {
in.close();
}
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
}
}
}

Subject: ClasspathResourceLoader trouble loading images, css
To: Velocity Users List <[email protected]>
I am enjoying using VelocityLayoutServlet with ClasspathResourceLoader. VM
files load great, and the layout loads wonderfully too. The trick is: how
can I get images, CSS, and other static content to load via classpath as
well? Or how can I get them load at all?
THANKS!
David
