[jira] Commented: (JS2-545) Simple Velocity Portlet Documentation

["Ate Douma (JIRA)" <je...@portals.apache.org>]

Ate Douma commented on JS2-545:
-------------------------------

Philip,

I checked the guide but I'm afraid its a bit too simple :)
- need to put the compiled class under WEB-INF/classes
- need to specify a Velocity handling servlet (like BridgesVelocityViewServlet) mapped to *.vm
- no need to put bridges-common under WEB-INF/lib: its supplied by Tomcat in shared/libs (at least if you don't want to mask that one)
- add additional required deps for velocity-tools (like commons-digester and maybe more)

If you can correct the guide for these and it runs I'm happy to commit it.
