Problems finding template
Hello -
I am writing a web app that starts a thread to perform some
operations that take too much time to require the user to wait for them.
In that thread, I am trying to use Velocity to write out some data
into a template. I start a VelocityEngine, init it, create a Velocity
Context
and then call mergeTemplate. The problem is that I am at a loss about
how to specify the location of the template. I have it in a directory
called 'templates' in the root directory of my web app, but neither
'/templates/<template>' or 'templates/<template> works. Investigating
a little, I find that the current working directory is in tomcat's bin
directory.
Is there somewhere to specify where Velocity Engine should look for
templates?
