MessageBy the way, try googling for "velocity-user". There's a couple of
different archives, not all of which include the term "mail" in the URL.

Subject: More help with VelocityViewServlet needed
Hello all.
I know I've asked for help before and I know I've already asked this question
before. I would, normally, search through the message archive, but my employer
has seen fit to configure our firewall to 'block' that site... IMHO, its
because the word 'mail' appears in the host name and we're not supposed to
visit any site that allows us to post 'webmail'.
I'm converting an existing web application that uses Velocity to use the
VelocityViewServlet. In the original application, I created a base class that
performed many of the the velocity-specific housekeeping functions that the
various servlet in the application required. While this works well enough, it
doesn't support the concept of a toolbox and I think a toolbox would be handy.
Instead of reinventing the wheel (yet again), I'm trying to use
VelocityViewServlet to replace the base class that I developed.
This is what my velocity.properties file looks like:
webapp.resource.loader.path = /WEB-INF/templates
velocimacro.library = Macros3.0.vm
This is what part of my web.xml file looks like. I've trimmed out most of
the servlet definitions to save space:
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.velocity.properties</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/velocity.properties</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- BrowseServlet extends VelocityViewServlet to manage a cookie and to
place results in the context
based on the query part of the client's URL -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>browse</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>BrowseServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>browse</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/browse</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
When the client attempts to access the URL
http://host.com/application/browse?name=x, a message with a stack trace is
displayed in the browser indicating that '/browse' couldn't be found in any
resource loader. A single index.vm doesn't seem to be appropriate as there are
several several servlet components in the 'application' web-app. What am I
missing? None of the examples provided with the Velocity tools seems to
address this situation.
Thanks!
John
