Hi, I'm trying to get a webapp to read template files from a template directory located under the web application root /template/
I tried to use the Velocity Singleton with the FileResourceLoader, specifying different paths in velocity.properties such as file.resource.loader.path = ../webapps/app_name/template/ But no matter what I set the path to, velocity still seems to use the default FileResourceLoader path of '.' I've confirmed this by placing a template in $CATALINA_HOME/bin where velocity is able to find the template correctly. It seems as though the velocity.properties file isn't being read. Here is my web.xml file. You can see I've got the <init-param> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"; version="2.4"> <servlet> <servlet-name>automatchingServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.velocity.tools.view.servlet.VelocityViewServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>org.apache.velocity.toolbox</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/toolbox.xml</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>properties</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/velocity.properties</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>automatchingServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.vm</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> How do I configure the FileResourceLoader to find my template files? I've read several posts and although the WebappResourceLoader would be a good solution, but I'm not able to use a beta version of velocity tools.
