velocity installation problem
Hi, I hope someone can point me in the right direction,
I went through the examples in velocity and couldn't get
servlet_example1, servlet_example2, or the forumdemo to work. I went
through the ant build scripts and generated the war file etc. But, the
forumdemo wouldn't work.
I searched the mailing list and thought that I found what I needed to
get the forumdemo working to go, to go, but it didn't work.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>forum</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>>/servlet/forum</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I was hoping that someone could send me a working forumdemo.war file
so I may try and see if that works in my jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25 so I
could tell that my problem possibly lies in some version of the
servlet.jar that I am using to compile my servlets is wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you can download my war file from
http://www.geocities.com/twalsworth/war/mywar.jar (you may need to
rename it from mywar.jar to mywar.war)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It deploys fine and I can see it in Tomcats 'Manager'
-------------------------
here is my servlet (I'm using velocity.properties stored in the
web-inf/conf folder
-------------------------
public class HelloHttpServlet extends VelocityServlet
{
/**
* lets override the loadConfiguration() so we can do some
* fancier setup of the template path
*/
protected Properties loadConfiguration(ServletConfig config )
throws IOException, FileNotFoundException
{
System.out.println("***" + INIT_PROPS_KEY + "***");
String propsFile = config.getInitParameter(INIT_PROPS_KEY);
/*
* now convert to an absolute path relative to the webapp root
* This will work in a decently implemented servlet 2.2
* container like Tomcat.
*/
if ( propsFile != null )
{
String realPath =
getServletContext().getRealPath(propsFile);
if ( realPath != null )
{
propsFile = realPath;
}
}
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load( new FileInputStream(propsFile) );
/*
* now, lets get the two elements we care about, the
* template path and the log, and fix those from relative
* to the webapp root, to absolute on the filesystem, which is
* what velocity needs
*/
String path = p.getProperty("file.resource.loader.path");
if (path != null)
{
path = getServletContext().getRealPath( path );
p.setProperty( "file.resource.loader.path", path );
}
path = p.getProperty("runtime.log");
if (path != null)
{
path = getServletContext().getRealPath( path );
p.setProperty("runtime.log", path );
}
return p;
}
/**

* is to simply return a valid Template
* </p>
*
* @param ctx a Velocity Context object to be filled with

* template
* @return Template to be used for request
*/
public Template handleRequest( HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Context ctx )
{
/*
* set up some data to put into the context
*/
String p1 = "Bob";
String p2 = "Harold";
Vector personList = new Vector();
personList.addElement( p1 );
personList.addElement( p2 );
/*
* Add the list to the context.
* This is how it's passed to the template.
*/
ctx.put("theList", personList );
/*
* get the template. There are three possible
* exceptions. Good to know what happened.
*/
Template outty = null;
try
{
outty = getTemplate("sample.vm");
}
catch( ParseErrorException pee )
{
System.out.println("SampleServlet : parse error for template
" + pee);
}
catch( ResourceNotFoundException rnfe )

rnfe);

Re: velocity installation problem
Posted by Terry <tw...@softhome.net>.
Hi, I can't seem to tell. I try and manully say where the properties
file is, and I get get a something still similar to a null pointer.
I tried to check if I had mistyped /WEB-INF/conf/velocity.properties
between whats in my web.xml file and the actual directory
/WEB/conf/velocity.properties and everything appears to be typed
correctly.
I'm also using Mandrake Linux 10 Official...

I'm actually running into a similar problem, in an application with the
ClasspathResourceLoader. I have templates in a jar on the classpath in a
package mypackage. The classloader can find the template but velocity
can not.
System.out.println(Velocity.getProperty("resource.loader"));
System.out.println(Velocity.getProperty("class.resource.loader.class"));
java.net.URL url = getClass().getResource("/mypackage/Template.wm");
System.out.println("found resource, url=" + url);
Template template = Velocity.getTemplate("/mypackage/Template.wm");

Re: mergeTemplate not finding the vm file from crontab
Posted by Will Glass-Husain <wg...@forio.com>.
You don't give an absolute path to Velocity. Instead, specify the path to
the root of the template tree when configuring velocity, then pass in
template paths relative to this path.
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/developer-guide.html#Configuring%20Resource%20Loaders
This can be a little confusing when you start out but look at the example in
the section above.

mergeTemplate not finding the vm file from crontab
Posted by Ilan Azbel <ia...@mdio.net>.
Hello,
I have written a small application that produces html output using velocity
mergeTemplate() method (as described in the manual).
It all works perfectly for me when I run the application from the operating
system prompt. However, when I schedule the same application to rub from the
crontab I get the following exception:
org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find
resource '/usr/tdk-2.2/bin/CustomReportEmail.vm'

I have tried to provide the mergeTemplate method with the full path of the
.vm file, but still no luck.
Any ideas where I should put the vm file?
Thanks

Hi, thanks for bringing up to my attention the VelocityTools project.
I've already installed and have working properly on my system.
This is what I was looking for, many thanks.

AFAIK, ServletContext.getRealPath(String) is unreliable, and will typically
not work with most servlet engines when deploying an application was a war.
if you want to get a velocity webapp working, i highly recommend checking out
the example webapps that come with the VelocityTools project. Those use the
VelocityViewServlet which does not rely on getRealPath() and is the planned
replacement for the now-deprecated VelocityServlet. bottom line, the core of
the Velocity project has passed off web application support to the
VelocityTools project. if you intend to do web development with Velocity,
you should probably skip the servlet examples and forumdemo and go right to
the VelocityTools apps. they should work out-of-the-box with any servlet
engine.
