ClasspathResourceLoader always caches templates
Hi,
I am trying to use the ClasspathResourceLoader in my project. All my
templates are in WEB-INF/classes.
The problem is, that changes to the templates are not used without
restarting Tomcat, which makes it very difficult to develop.
Here is my velocity.properties:
resource.loader=class
class.resource.loader.description = Velocity Classpath Resource Loader
class.resource.loader.class =
org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader
class.resource.loader.cache = false
class.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 5
velocimacro.library.autoreload=true
runtime.log.logsystem.class = org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.Log4JLogChute
Is this known behaviour for the ClassPathResourceLoader? Or did I made a
mistake in the configuration? I tried using the FileResourceLoader
before, and it worked, but I didn´t like to specify absolute paths for that.

It's more of an internal piece. So the javadoc will be your best
source of info. We really should mention it in Velocity Engine's
resource loader docs...

Thanks for this hint, Nathan.
But why can´t I find anything about the webappLoader in the
Velocity(Tools) documentation?

Philipp

You should probably use the WebappLoader in the VelocityTools project.
It has all the perks of the FileResourceLoader, while only requiring
servlet context relative paths. :)

That's correct, there is no reloading of templates with
ClasspathResourceLoader. This is because there is no generic way to get the
date of a resource (which is ordinarily used to check if a template is
changed).
