RE: war

["Stewart, Robbie (Contractor)" <Ro...@dsto.defence.gov.au>]

A couple of gotchas when making the war.
The template needs to be at the root of the war file
as the servlet when initialising it's properties set's
the resource loader path as "/". Also I'm not sure
you can just archive up any old structure and call it a
web archive. I think at the very least you would need something like:

$WEB_SERVER_HOME/webapps/sample1/WEB-INF

with a web.xml description in WEB-INF and a classes folder with
the SampleServlet class also residing in WEB-INF.
You would also need a lib folder in WEB-INF with the velocity
jar file in there.

Pretty sure if you build a web archive file which when loaded by the
web server expanded out to the above, the sample servlet should work
(well mine did when I tried it :)

HTH,

Thats my problem I'm sure... I was screwing around with the template path..
it worked when it was blown out... but tomcat must not like the template
being in a subdir... I'll try it tonight, thanks.
