Hi Nathan,
Do you have any log output for this that we could see?
Yes, attached below. I've tracked the problem down to a difference in
the way I'm invoking the engine. I have two test cases, both of which
read the same template. This one, taken from the user manual, works fine:
VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
ve.init();
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
Template template = null;
template = ve.getTemplate(templateName);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
template.merge( context, sw );
log.debug( sw.toString() );
This one, which I use because my templates will in future be dynamically
generated rather than loaded from a file, doesn't:
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
java.io.File f = new java.io.File( templateName );
Reader reader = new FileReader( f );
VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
ve.init();
log.debug( "Velocity macro prop: " + ve.getProperty(
"velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline" ));
VelocityContext pvc = new VelocityContext();
ve.evaluate( pvc, sw, null, reader );
log.debug( sw.toString() );
I can't see a way of creating a Template object from a reader, so from
reading the API I think I have to call evaluate() directly. However, I
must presumably be missing a crucial step somewhere.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Ian
