moving templates in subdirectory

[Thilo Schwidurski <th...@web.de>]

Hi,

after moving my templates to a sub-path "content/velocity", where "content"
is the same level as "WEB-INF", and adding the following entry to
velocity.property:

file.resource.loader.path = /content/velocity

(velocity.property actually is found and parsed - I verified this by
debugging. It also took a while to figure out the mistake of setting the
init-param for the maverick dispatcher-servlet context and not the velocity
context, but, oh well :-/)

Ok, were have I been.
Yes, now I have trouble with this:

org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find
resource '/trimInside.vm'

(the path actually is "content/velocity/trimInside.vm")

The server.xml (I am using tomcat 4.1.18) contains:

<Context path="/mywebapp"
docBase="C:\dev\workspace\mywebapp"
workDir="C:\dev\workspace\mywebapp\work\org\apache\jsp" />

Now I wonder what combination of settings of docBase,
file.resource.loader.path or other path-configs I did'nt find yet will do
the trick.

Actually, as indicated earlier, I am also using maverick (that's why the
crosspost), and I started from the velocity-flavor friendbook example.
"trimInside.vm" is chained in as transformation, AFAIU, so that's were there
might be a setting I missed(?) but nevertheless, my own macro.vm, which is
properly registered in velocity.property, does'nt seem to be reached
either).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Thilo.

org.apache.velocity.tools.view.servlet.WebappLoader, right?
Thanks for the hint, Claude.

But unfortunately I also did'nt acchieve what I wanted in the first place
with this approach.

I plugged in the WebappLoader and then tried to set:

file.resource.loader.path = content/velocity

without avail. Actually, when specifying the WebappLoader as
Resource-Loader, the path-property seems to be completely ignored (the log
shows no entries, in contrast to the standard fileresourceloader).

And the source shows, that WebappLoader#getResourceStream does'nt append a
path to the reource's name but just uses
"servletContext.getResourceAsStream( name );". So how should this ever work?
Hmmm, though stuff this is... :-/

Well, but I am now at least able to specify an absolute path, and that's
fine.
Actually there was another *bad* thing to find: a space character at the end
of this line:

resource.loader = file

Important lesson learned: before going to debug I first will watch the
tomcat logs.

Kind regards,
Thilo.

Hi Thilo.

This FileResourceLoader paths are not relative to the webapp.
So specify full paths, or try the WebappResourceLoader, located in the tools subproject.
