[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-440) Make TEMPLATE_ROOT behave more
like classpath...that is a list of directories to search.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-440?page=comments#action_12413461 ]
Henning Schmiedehausen commented on VELOCITY-440:
-------------------------------------------------
I am not sure that I understand this request.
There is no such thing as a "TEMPLATE_ROOT". Velocity templates are loaded through a set of loaders that you configure in your properties. For each directory that you want to use, you configure a FileResourceLoader. For the Classpath, you configure a ClasspathResourceLoader.
A template is not necessary the same thing as a file. Most of the times, a template is loaded from a file but that is done in a resource loader.
This BTW is IMHO a question for the dev/users list, not an issue in JIRA. :-)

> I want to use Velocity as a standard preprocessor for many programming languages or configuration files. By using it this way, I can build a library of Velocity macros that I can callup whenever I want. I want to be able to have macros located in different directories. So the TEMPLATE_ROOT should be a list of directories that is searched by Velocity to find the first macro file needed.
> There also a need to have some macros archived in the Jar. So a unified solution for having macros dispersed in a list of directories and insided the JAR file (in the real classpath).
> This would go a long way to improve Velocity.
