are you deploying to a servlet container? if so, then the
FileResourceLoader is not your friend. you should be using the
WebappLoader (aka WebappResourceLoader) that is part of the
VelocityTools project. It uses servlet context relative paths.
Ahh cool, Ill check that out. I know you're the author so its hard for you to
present an unbiased view but are there any penalty performances moving to this
loader ?
i don't think it would be all that hard to add support for including>
environmental variables in the properties. you would pretty much just
watch for properties either coming in or going out of RuntimeInstance
for environment variables and do the replacement there. It would
probably be easiest to do this in RuntimeInstance#getProperty.
Ok thanks.
Thanks Nathan,

Is there anyway we can set relative paths in this file ?
in which file? in velocity.properties?
This is the only configuration file out of dozens that doesn't support this
and its making deployment a serious pain.

Or can I use environmental variables in this file ? That would work also.
sounds like a useful thing to me!
If not - how much development would it take to get this to work ? It might be
worth it for us to contribute this to Velocity.
