getTemplate with encoding
If I'm obtaining my template with the following:
velocityEngine.getTemplate ( "myTemplate", "UTF-8" );
What will happen if the template is not encoded in UTF-8? Will the template
be processed, even if incorrectly, and used? Or will the template be turned
down immediately?

yes, garbled content is your risk.

no, failed merge ends there. velocity doesn't go back to resource finding.

In other words, you would still expect it to merge the template? I was
wondering if one of my resource loaders was refusing the template because it
was latin-1, and the lookup was falling through to another loader which had
a UTF-8 template. But, from what I understand from your response, it
doesn't sound like this would be the case.
If one loader finds a template, and the engine blows up on merging, does the
engine go to the next loader? I think now, but I'm not entirely sure.

If the file has only ASCII characters (7 bit) everything will work OK.
If it has binary content or other encoding, you will most probably have some funny characters in your output.
Since some very few byte sequences are invalid UTF8, I'm not sure, but it could cause an IO exception.
