That could be a stop-gap solution... would work when I run it as a Java Application. But the final thing I need to achieve is to use the same in the application project. i.e where exactly would it be searching in runtime... When I run it as part of the j2ee application, it seems to go search in the default runtime folder for WSAD.

I have created a Java project in WSAD which has a src and classes folder for the source and compiled code respectively. I created a java application which would get a template "email.vm" public class UtilTest { public static void main(String[] args) { testVelocity(); } private static void testVelocity() { try { Velocity.init(); Template template = Velocity.getTemplate("email.vm"); System.out.println("template:"+template); VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext(); context.put ("title","Title...."); context.put ("body","body.."); context.put ("activityname","name...."); context.put ("activitydescription","desc...."); context.put ("startdate","xx-xx-xxxx...."); context.put ("enddate","xx-xx-xxxx...."); context.put ("planneditem","item...."); context.put ("scheme","PE...."); context.put ("link","link"); StringWriter message = new StringWriter(); template.merge(context, message); System.out.println(message.toString()); } catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (ParseErrorException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Template email.vm was placed under src (gets copied to classes when compiled). I compiled and tried to run the application from WSAD, but this was giving me a resource not found exception org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find resource 'email.vm' at org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.ResourceManagerImpl.loadResource(Re sourceManagerImpl.java:501) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.ResourceManagerImpl.getResource(Res ourceManagerImpl.java:384) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeInstance.getTemplate(RuntimeInstance. java:814) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeInstance.getTemplate(RuntimeInstance. java:796) at org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeSingleton.getTemplate(RuntimeSingleto n.java:337) at org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity.getTemplate(Velocity.java:512) at com.sonata.cpgfwk.util.UtilTest.testVelocity(UtilTest.java:49) at com.sonata.cpgfwk.util.UtilTest.main(UtilTest.java:38) I tried going through the command prompt to classes folder and tried running the application from there. Seems to work perfectly fine... but doesn't work when I run it throught WSAD. However with WSAD if I place the the email.vm file in the project base folder outside src/classes, WSAD is able to pick it up. Has anyone faced this problem? Any solutions welcome...
