Many thanks.
Yes there were two exceptions, I had ignored the earlier one thinking it was
unimportant - but I see now it was causing Velocity to not initialise - but
then the code execution continued then getting NullPointer much later on
....
The first exception was just a permission denied when trying to write to the
velocity.log :-
21 Aug 2007 10:16:27 [main] ERROR
net.sf.navigator.displayer.VelocityMenuDisplayer - Error initializing
Velocity: Unable to configure AvalonLogSystem :
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/tomcat55/velocity.log (Permission
denied)
For some reason the log is being written to /usr/var/tomcat55
top directory rather than the /logs subdirectory.
I see in Struts Menu velocity init there is, then it looks for a
velocity.properties on themclasspath :-
// default to servletlogger, which logs to the servlet engines log
velocityEngine.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM_CLASS,
ServletLogger.class.getName());
I will try setting up a velocity.properties with
runtime.log=logs/velocity.log
maybe that is what is needed ?
