Ok, all is in for the addition we talked about for two new exceptions to
be thrown by Runtime.getTemplate() :
org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException
org.apache.velocity.exception.ParseErrorException
They are nothing fancy, but help you distinguish between the two
fundamental errors when dealing with templates ( not finding them and
syntax errors) and deal with them at app level.
So the deal is, wherever you call getTemplate() you can figure out what
is going on :
try
{
outty = getTemplate("sample.vm");
}
catch( ParseErrorException pee )
{
}
catch( ResourceNotFoundException rnfe )
{
}
catch( Exception e )
{
// when things get ugly internally
}
I think I got it all right. I tested a bit (imagine...).
Will document when the docs get checked in in Anakia form.
