Templates should follow the double extension naming convention
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-407
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-407
Project: Velocity
Type: Wish
Components: Tools
Versions: Tools-1.2
Environment: all
Reporter: Claude Brisson
The VelocityViewServlet.getTemplate() method should postpone ".vtl"
to the URI by default (and only handle .vtl files in its servlet-mapping
clause).
So, a request http://www.foo.com/bar.html would map :
1. to a template bar.html.vtl if found
2. to a regular html file bar.html otherwise
Beyond the first basic samples, any webapp will need such a behaviour.
So all application designers will have to subclass VelocityViewServlet to do it.
Why not then incorporate it by default ? It looks rather important to me. Having
to subclass the VelocityViewServlet for each and every project is really silly.
Since there is a backward compatibility issue, one could trigger the behaviour
with
a configuration flag and wait for the tools 2.0 to have the default changed.
