template in a Tapestry 5 app
Hi,
how Velocity locates template file in a web app? here is what I did:
in the WEB-INF i have a velocity.properties with following content:
resource.loader = file
file.resource.loader.path = /tmp
and I put a .vm file in /tmp
in the code, I did:
Template t = ve.getTemplate("registrationEmail.vm");
but always got the exception:ResourceNotFoundException
why?
Thanks

Hi Nathan,
Thanks, ClassPathResourceLoader does the job.

If you need to access templates (aka vm files) from within a webapp,
you should use the WebappLoader provided as part of the VelocityTools
project. Velocity itself (and especially the FileResourceLoader,
which is the default resource loader) is completely clueless about
webapps.
If you have some opposition to using the webapp support in
VelocityTools and really insist on just using plain Velocity itself,
then you will probably want to use the ClasspathResourceLoader and put
your templates in the classpath. The FileResourceLoader is really not
meant to be used with webapps.
If, for some obscure reason, you really want to use the
FileResourceLoader, then you will need to either figure out what the
JVM your webapp is running in considers the "current directory" and
put your templates there or else you will actually need to configure
the file.resource.loader.path to an absolute path and put your
templates there.
These are most of your options. I highly recommend you just add
VelocityTools (particularly the velocity-view-1.4.jar) to your webapp
and tell velocity to use the WebappLoader as the resource loader). If
you need more specific instructions on how to do this, then search the
mailing list archives (velocity.markmail.org) or read the
documentation or ask on this list.

Hi,
Actually I don't need absolute path, I only need to access vm files inside
the web app, any idea where is the good location to place those *.vm files
so that getTemplate can find them?

The FileResourceLoader is very difficult to use in a webapp. We
recommend that you use the WebappResourceLoader (aka WebappLoader)
that is provided by the VelocityTools library instead.
If you really want to use the FileResourceLoader, then the problem is
likely that you need to use an absolute path as the value for
file.resource.loader.path, instead of a relative path.
