Here is an old v1.6 example but principal applies to a current release. http://koti.mbnet.fi/akini/java/unicodereader/ http://koti.mbnet.fi/akini/java/unicodereader/UnicodeLoaderForVelocity.zip
resource.loader = file file.resource.loader.class = org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader file.resource.loader.unicode = true Yes, FileResourceloader with "unicode=true" attribute can handle all utf* and ansi encoding transparently. Encoding is autorecognized by BOM marker or fallback to a legacy ansi. We don't need or should tell a read encoding, its an internal bytesToChars issue handled by unicodeinputstream. ... Template template = Velocity.getTemplate(srcFile); template.merge(context, out); ... You should not use Velocity.getTemplate(name, encoding) method if used FileResourceLoader with unicode=true attribute. It voids all the wise purpose of FileResourceLoader unicode. --- On Tue, 7/21/09, johann.we...@eventim.de <johann.we...@eventim.de> wrote: > From: johann.we...@eventim.de <johann.we...@eventim.de> > Subject: AW: AW: getEncodingFromStream from UnicodeInputStream > To: user@velocity.apache.org > Date: Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 10:14 AM > The UnicodeInputStream class is used > to load files with a BOM correctly.
