Installing velocity
I've downloaded the tomcat windows exectutable (5.5.17)
and ran it. It seems to have installed perfectly, and
furthermore, is somehow integrated with apache!
I have velocity downloaded (not to mention jdk and ant
installed)... But I don't know how to install velocity. I
assume I've got everything I need. So how do I install
Velocity now?
Thanks everyone,
Brenton

In general (this is true for most open source projects), the binary
distribution files are just the fully compiled code and perhaps
documentation. These are typically downloaded by those who have apps
that are already dependent on that library or otherwise already know
how to use it.
The source distribution serves two main purposes. a) It exists to
satisfy license conditions (not open source if the source is not
distributed). b) It's useful for those learning to hack on and/or
use the project and/or its examples.

This is how servlets work. Servlets are mapped to url patterns. By
default when you drop a .war file or a directory into the Tomcat
webapp folder, the name of that folder and/or war file is necessarily
part of the url. These things can be changed, but that's the default.
As far as writing/running Velocity templates in general, you can do
that anywhere. Velocity is great for any text generation needs and
can work from absolutely anywhere. It needn't necessarily have
anything to do with Tomcat or webapps. It's just that most people use
Velocity in webapps and the examples that come with VelocityTools are
a good way to get started with that.
Of course, even in webapps, you can configure Velocity to load
templates from anywhere, regardless of your Tomcat configuration or
url path. Look in the developer guide about configuring resource
loaders once you are ready to learn more about that.

Re: Installing velocity
Posted by Nathan Bubna <nb...@gmail.com>.
The ready-to-drop-in-Tomcat-and-go example war files are included.
But the source and build files are not.

Are the examples files included with the binary? We should change the
tutorial to skip this step if we can.

RE: Installing velocity
Posted by Brenton Strine <Br...@citrix.com>.
Ah. I'm an idiot. So what is the good of the binary
anyway if you can't use velocity with it? And why is it
*before* the source if it's less important?
Thanks so much for pointing that out to me. It worked!
(yaay)
So I've copied "examples\simple" to the tomcat webapps
directory, and velocity code is working there as it says
on the tutorial! (yaay again). However, I can't get any
other directories to display velocity. Even when I copied
"simple"! Am I forever limited to coding all my velocity
in this simple directory? I feel like a complete
simpleton, but what exactly allows "simple" to be a valid
folder for velocity, while "simple2" just gives me
errors?
Brenton
PS
I thought whomever has the power to change the webapps
tutorial might like to know that the tutorial (step 4)
talks about several things being in the "examples"
directory when they're actually under
"examples/simple"... It just made an already confused
person that much more confused.

Ah. You downloaded, the binary. You need to download
the source distribution.

I believe the tutorial says to get the source, though it
probably just mentioned it in passing, rather than making

RE: Installing velocity
Posted by Brenton Strine <Br...@citrix.com>.
There is no file called "build.xml" in
velocity-tools-1.2.zip anywhere. I even did a search. I
*have* typed the ant commands in the root directory of
the velocity tools. Maybe I'm confused about what the
root directory is. I unzipped velocity tools into
"C:\vtools". (So that inside C:\vtools is a folder called
"velocity-tools-1.2".)I then opened the shell, navigated
to "C:\vtools", and typed the commands. I also navigated
to "C:\vtools\velocity-tools-1.2" and typed the ant
commands.
I also have tried doing this with the velocity tools
unzipped in the same directory as I have velocity itself
in.

By the way, this is the zip I've been downloading.
Perhaps I have the wrong file??

Where is the build.xml? Your command prompt should be working in the
directory where the build.xml file is for ant to find it. So, after
you unzipped the velocity-tools distribution, go to the root directory
of it and then type the ant command(s).

RE: Installing velocity
Posted by Brenton Strine <Br...@citrix.com>.
Yes, I've looked through that tutorial, but I can't get
through it.
It says "Build the Velocity Tools jar and the "simple"
example by typing: ant example.simple" and in the readme
file it says "To build the project, start ant in the root
directory of the project: > ant".
However, when I do either of these, all I ever get is
"Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! Build failed".
I'm typing these commands in cmd.exe and I've tried it in
the directory velocity-tools-1.2,
velocity-tools-1.2\examples, and a few other things.
My velocity-tools-1.2 directory is inside the velocity
directory. Is that bad? What's the problem?

Download the subproject "Velocity Tools". Look for the

Have you read the tutorial on webapps I linked to in the previous email?
Download the subproject "Velocity Tools". Look for the tutorial on
using ""VelocityViewServlet" and follow that.

RE: Installing velocity
Posted by Brenton Strine <Br...@citrix.com>.
Perhaps actually, what I mean to ask is what I need to do
to *use* Velocity. Because I'm pretty sure I have
Velocity installed. I did the whole ant thing, and I also
did ant test, and everything seems fine. But if it's
installed, then why aren't .vm files executed as
velocity? What do I have to do so that I can write some
velocity code and see the output?

Subject: Installing velocity
I've downloaded the tomcat windows exectutable (5.5.17)
and ran it. It seems to have installed perfectly, and
furthermore, is somehow integrated with apache!
I have velocity downloaded (not to mention jdk and ant
installed)... But I don't know how to install velocity. I
assume I've got everything I need. So how do I install
Velocity now?
Thanks everyone,
Brenton
