Claude Brisson closed VELOCITY-407:
-----------------------------------
Fix Version: Tools-1.2
Resolution: Won't Fix
bad idea after all
> Templates vs. static content should be resolvable via file naming pattern
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> 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
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Tools-1.2
>
> The VelocityViewServlet.getTemplate() method should append ".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.
