velocity.properties
Hi
I have been working with velocity for some months now, and it is just a
beauty.
It has actually lifted some weight of my shoulders, because now if is
feasible for other people in the team, to change the html without
knowing any java. So the request of type: 'pad the image 1px to the
left' has stopped. 1 such request isnt much but when there are 50 it is
just anoying.
Well, enough sucking up.
The real problem is that now when I have used it for some time, I have
come to a prouction(?) state of my app. So I boldly deployed my war in
jboss+tomcat. But it cant find the velocity.properties. It is placed at
document root for that app. Standalone tomcat finds it. I have tried
moving it around to classes and lib in WEB-INF updating the web.xml
accordingly. But still no joy.
I then unpacked the war by hand in the depkoy dir (no war), then it
found it.
Has anyone had similar problems? Am I doing something wrong? A setting
in jboss. I am pretty sure it cant be a setting in velocity.properties
:-)
Keep up the jolly good work

are you using the VelocityServlet or the VelocityViewServlet (from
velocity-tools)?
if the former, then the answer to your question is "yes."
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17455
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17058
this behavior has been changed in the VelocityViewServlet to load the
configuration via ServletContext.getResourceAsStream(). i believe that should
work (though i've not tried it with jboss+tomcat myself. i just use tomcat.).
also, if you are using the FileResourceLoader, then when you get around to
loading templates in an unpacked war situation, you're likely to have problems
again. the WebappResourceLoader in velocity-tools should be able to remedy
that.
basically, if you're doing webapps with velocity, velocity-tools is the way to
go. if you're already using it, then i dunno what the problem is, but i want
to find out and fix it. :)

The velocity.properties is found when I manually unpack the war file, but
not deploy as war. Is the velocity using the absolute path to the file to
load it?

Hi Nathan,
I didn't try WebAppLoader because I wanted to store the templates into a
database table. I use them as email templates and now I (or the admin users
of my web app) can easily edit them. So I really dont know if WebAppLoader
works with JBoss+Tomcat.

you're already using the VelocityViewServlet and that's good, but does the
WebappLoader not work for you? not that there's anything wrong with using the
DataSourceResourceLoader, i just want to know if there was a problem using the
WebappLoader with Jboss+Tomcat. :)

Re: velocity.properties
Posted by Harri Lehtimaki <ha...@takioni.fi>.
Magne,
I'm using Velocity and JBoss+Tomcat. The problem is that JBoss does not
unpack the war file.
My solution was that I now store my Velocity templates into a MySQL table
and use DataSourceResourceLoader.
In velocity.properties I have defined that templates are read from data
source.
resource.loader = ds
ds.resource.loader.public.name = DataSource
ds.resource.loader.description = Velocity DataSource Resource Loader
ds.resource.loader.class =
org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.DataSourceResourceLoader
ds.resource.loader.resource.datasource = java:/MySqlDS
ds.resource.loader.resource.table = tb_velocity_template
ds.resource.loader.resource.keycolumn = id
ds.resource.loader.resource.templatecolumn = template_definition
ds.resource.loader.resource.timestampcolumn = template_timestamp
ds.resource.loader.cache = false
ds.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 60
Hope this helps
Harri

It just sounds strange to me that a setting in velocity.properties is
needed for the system to find velocity.properties.

Hi,
I think this is a setting in Velocity.properties.
Eventhough you have said that "it cant be a setting in velocity.properties",
I would like you to try the following as I had faced similar problem in one of
my project and this was my solution.
resource.loader = file
file.resource.loader.path=<the full path> where the properties files is
available.
e.g., <full path> = D:/velocity/

Hi
I have been working with velocity for some months now, and it is just a
beauty.
It has actually lifted some weight of my shoulders, because now if is
feasible for other people in the team, to change the html without
knowing any java. So the request of type: 'pad the image 1px to the
left' has stopped. 1 such request isnt much but when there are 50 it is
just anoying.
Well, enough sucking up.
The real problem is that now when I have used it for some time, I have
come to a prouction(?) state of my app. So I boldly deployed my war in
jboss+tomcat. But it cant find the velocity.properties. It is placed at
document root for that app. Standalone tomcat finds it. I have tried
moving it around to classes and lib in WEB-INF updating the web.xml
accordingly. But still no joy.
I then unpacked the war by hand in the depkoy dir (no war), then it
found it.
Has anyone had similar problems? Am I doing something wrong? A setting
in jboss. I am pretty sure it cant be a setting in velocity.properties
:-)
Keep up the jolly good work
