Macro reloading

[Jani <ka...@majorus.fi>]

Hey all,

I'm using Velocity embedded in my Java app. (See code below) Code is 
called from a servlet. I'm using Tomcat on RH Linux. Velocity version is 
1.3.1-rc2.

My problem is that macro reloading is not working. I have set 
'velocimacro.library.autoreload' property as instructed in the 
documentation. Nonetheless if I edit macros on my template, changes are 
not visible until I restart Tomcat (or rename macros). 


Any ideas? Thanks,

-Jani

public class Template {

    private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Template.class);
    private static VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();

    static  {
        String templatePath = Xcms.getProperty("system.base-dir") + 
	Xcms.getProperty("templates.base-dir");
        log.debug("Setting templatePath = " + templatePath);

        ve.setProperty("file.resource.loader.path", templatePath);
        ve.setProperty("file.resource.loader.cache", "false");
        ve.setProperty("velocimacro.library.autoreload", "true");
        ve.setProperty("velocimacro.context.localscope", "true");

        try {
            ve.init();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.fatal("Init of VelocityEngine failed. Panic!", e);
        }

    }

  public static org.dom4j.Document getTemplate (String fileName, HashMap contextObjects, boolean loadingFromFile) throws Exception {

        contextObjects.put("constants", new Constants());

         VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();

         if (contextObjects != null) {
             Iterator cosKeys = contextObjects.keySet().iterator();

             while (cosKeys.hasNext()) {
                 String key = (String) cosKeys.next();
                 context.put( key, contextObjects.get(key) );
             }

         }
         org.apache.velocity.Template template = new org.apache.velocity.Template();

         template = ve.getTemplate(fileName);
         StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
         template.merge( context, sw );

         Document doc = XMLUtils.parseText("<page-template>" + sw.toString() + "</page-template>");

         return doc;

    }
