Defining different resource-paths for every webapps.

[Endre Rognerud <e....@usit.uio.no>]

Hi!

I have been playing around with a couple of Velocity-based webapps. I have
managed to define the path where Velocity will look for my templates;
typically a folder named 'templates' in the folder for the webapp:

'.../resin-2.1.6/webapps/myapp1/templates'.

This works fine for this webapp, but when I deploy another that should look
for templates in it's own 'templates'-folder, Velocity don't find them. It
seems that my first configuration is not only for my first webapp?

I have tried to understand and setup a 'FileResourceLoader', but I haven't
managed to get different template-folder for each webapp.

Can anybody give me a hint of a nice and easy way to do this?
Thanks!!

If your servlet extends VelocityServlet, you will need a separate Velocity
jar under the WEB-INF/lib directory of each web application.  
VelocityServlet uses a singleton model of Velocity.

You can also extend HttpServlet and initialize a VelocityEngine within it
for template handling.  In this case, you can share a Velocity jar across
the container, because each VelocityEngine keeps track of its own
configuration.

I think it's easier for beginners to extend VelocityServlet.
