Hi All,
I am new to Velocity and am working on part of our application written by
someone else.
The app is using Velocity to generate emails. Currently, we have templates
that have hardcoded English text in them. I am trying to I18N these templates
so that they pick up text from our .properties files.
I believe I don't have things setup correctly, but I can't seem to find a
"full" example that explains everything end-to-end, so I can't figure out how
to verify this. From Googling, I see that lots of people seem to have similar
problems, but none of their solutions seem to work for me. I think it's
involved with how we use the templates, but I'm too new to know for sure.
I have dl'd the 1.1 Tools. I have only copied the velocity-tools-1.1.jar to
my lib directory, because it didn't seem like I needed the rest of it and I
already have Struts. (Am I wrong?) I have setup the web.xml and toolbox.xml
just like the Velocity website says. I have updated part of the template with
the following line:
<head>
<title>$msg.get("app.title.txt") - Alert Details</title>
#include($styleSheet)
</head>
When I run this I get:
2:4:43 WARN lang org.apache.velocity.runtime.exception.ReferenceException: refe
rence : template = /com/sas/aml/velocity/email/alert_details.vm [line 5,column 1
0] : $msg.get("app.title.txt") is not a valid reference.
The real interesting part, to me anyway, is that we are not accessing these
templates through regular Struts forwards, etc. From what I understand
VelocityViewServlet is necessary to use the MessageTool? We are using
VelocityEngine (via mergeTemplate) and I believe that I'll need to replace this
with usage of VelocityViewServlet?
As you can tell, I'm getting very fuzzy on all of this last part. Any help
is appreciated.
Thanks,
Neal Smith
