Problems programmatically setting the file resource loader path

The following code, created for testing purposes, does not work for me:

	// Write a temporary template.
	File file = File.createTempFile( "template", ".vm" );
	FileWriter out = new FileWriter( file );
	out.write( "${name}" );
	out.close();

	// Init the engine
	VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
	ve.init();
	ve.setProperty( Velocity.FILE_RESOURCE_LOADER_PATH, file.getParent()
);
	
	// Load the template - this fails with a
org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException
	Template template = ve.getTemplate( file.getName() );

When I step through the code and examine the VelocityEngine after the
property is set, the setting exists in VeloctyEngine.overridingProperties,
but is "." in VelocityEngine.configuration.  The error generated on that 
last call is "org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException:
Unable to find resource 'template9545.vm'".

What is a correct way to programmatically set the file resource loader path
so that the above code will work?

(This is on a Windows machine, BTW.  I have not yet tried this on a Unix
machine.)

thanks,
ian.

Set first, then init() :


ve.setProperty()

ve.init()
