are you sure that it is the VelocityLayoutServlet that is doing the
processing of your templates? I believe Struts 2 has their own way
of supporting Velocity that doesn't use the VelocityViewServlet.

i'm fairly skeptical that this works. you can't typically address
files within a war like this. you could just use the default
"webapp" resource loader that the VelocityViewServlet provides. i
think you just need to remove the file.resource.loader properties
above and add this one:
webapp.resource.loader.path = /view/HTML

[FIXED] Struts2 & Velocity Tool 1.4 - deprecated constructor
ChainedContext
Posted by flavien_b <fl...@laposte.net>.
Hi,
I managed to get it working with velocity-tools-1.4 :
I subclassed the VelocityManager class, overridden the createContextMethod,
and replaced the deprecated constructor by the new one :
MyVelocityManager.java :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.struts2.ServletActionContext;
import org.apache.struts2.util.VelocityStrutsUtil;
import org.apache.struts2.views.jsp.ui.OgnlTool;
import org.apache.struts2.views.util.ContextUtil;
import org.apache.struts2.views.velocity.StrutsVelocityContext;
import org.apache.struts2.views.velocity.VelocityManager;
import org.apache.velocity.VelocityContext;
import org.apache.velocity.context.Context;
import org.apache.velocity.tools.view.context.ChainedContext;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.ValueStack;
public class MyVelocityManager extends VelocityManager
{
private static final Logger LOG =
Logger.getLogger(MyVelocityManager.class);
public Context createContext(ValueStack stack, HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res) {
VelocityContext[] chainedContexts = prepareChainedContexts(req,
res, stack.getContext());
StrutsVelocityContext context = new
StrutsVelocityContext(chainedContexts, stack);
Map standardMap = ContextUtil.getStandardContext(stack, req, res);
for (Iterator iterator = standardMap.entrySet().iterator();
iterator.hasNext();) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) iterator.next();
context.put((String) entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
context.put(STRUTS, new VelocityStrutsUtil(getVelocityEngine(),
context, stack, req, res));
ServletContext ctx = null;
try {
ctx = ServletActionContext.getServletContext();
} catch (NullPointerException npe) {
// in case this was used outside the lifecycle of struts
servlet
LOG.debug("internal toolbox context ignored");
}
if (toolboxManager != null && ctx != null) {
// here is the new constructor :
ChainedContext chained = new
ChainedContext(getVelocityEngine(), req, res, ctx);
chained.setToolbox(toolboxManager.getToolbox(chained));
return chained;
} else {
return context;
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now just add this line :
struts.xml :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<constant name="struts.velocity.manager.classname"
value="your.package.MyVelocityManager" />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and struts will use your new manager instead of the build in one.
Tested with velocity-tools-1.4 only, it seems to work fine.
Hope this help ;-)

Re: Struts2 & Velocity Too
Posted by Nathan Bubna <nb...@gmail.com>.
Yeah, the Struts people are apparently not keeping up with changes. :(
That particular constructor was deprecated even in VelocityTools 1.2.
It looks like they are still imagining that Tools 1.1 is standard.
It's been a quite a few years since that was true. Thanks for filing
the bug with them.

Re: Struts2 & Velocity Tool
Posted by emri <cy...@hotmail.com>.
I managed to get it working using velocity tools 1.2. This bug is coming from
the org.apache.struts2.views.velocity.VelocityManager class that must not be
up to date with velocity changes. I'm heading toward struts forums to try
solve this.

Re: Struts2 & Velocity Tool
Posted by emri <cy...@hotmail.com>.
Thank for your help :)
With some research i managed to understand a bit more what's happening. You
are right that
the VelocityViewServlet wasn't used here. Struts2 have his own velocity
config. So i added in my struts.xml file :
struts.xml
----------------
<constant name="struts.velocity.toolboxlocation"
value="WEB-INF/toolbox.xml" />
<constant name="struts.velocity.configfile"
value="WEB-INF/velocity.properties" />
--------------
Now everything seems to load correctly.
About the loader path, i work for me since I'm not using standard web
archive. My war is just a folder with the .war extension, that allow jboss
to deploy its content on boot. But i recognize it must not be a common way
to go :p
So now i understand how my templates are rendered using struts2 velocity's
engine, but I'm still getting an error when calling any url.
here's the stack trace :
----------------------------------
