[jira] Commented: (VELOCITY-446) Provide method VelocityEngine.getTemplate(File file); so a specific file can be given without using resource management!

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-446?page=comments#action_12432814 ] 
            
Henning Schmiedehausen commented on VELOCITY-446:
-------------------------------------------------

Using a resource loader makes sure that you cannot load arbitrary files from the file system. Inside Velocity there is no concept of files, only of templates. 

I understand that this might be a convenience method at best. You would be far better off by writing a ResourceManager implementation that does exactly this for you, then plug it in using the "resource.manager.class" and just use getTemplate("path to file"). 

It is all in there in Velocity. :-)
