velocity config.getInitParameter()
Hi,
I'm having some trouble getting a Velocity Servlet to read an <init-param>
from tomcat. So far i've tried the following:
public class SiteStructure extends VelocityServlet{
private String base_dir = null;
protected Properties loadConfiguration(ServletConfig config) throws
IOException,FileNotFoundException{
...
String path = config.getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
this.base_dir = config.getInitParameter("basedir");
...
}
in my web.xml file i've tried these two options, although not at the same
time.
<init-param>
<param-name>basedir</param-name>
<param-value>test</param-value>
</init-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>basedir</param-name>
<param-value>test</param-value>
</context-param>
Its probably quite simple but i've looked all through both my tomcat books and
velocity books and i can't see any examples of this being done. The velocity
docs say that the loadConfiguration() is called from init(), which is where
all of the Tomcat servlet examples have called the getInitParameter() method
from.
Thanks in Advance
Andrew

Hi
Thanks Shinobu,
Basically I found out that i needed to call the
this.base_dir = config.getInitParameter("basedir"); method before I did
anything else.
I will have a look at the VelocityViewServlet though.
Thanks

First, I suggest using VelocityViewServlet, as VelocityServlet is
deprecated and will be removed in future versions.

I don't see anything wrong so far, but I can't tell until I see all
the relevant code. Does it work with a regular servlet?
