[jira] Resolved: (VELOCITY-233) Documentation and examples do not work and are misleading
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-233?page=all ]
Will Glass-Husain resolved VELOCITY-233:
----------------------------------------
Fix Version: 1.5
Resolution: Fixed
Assign To: (was: Velocity-Dev List)
This may seem a little lame but we have resolved this issue by removing the section from the docs in the upcoming release 1.5. VelocityServlet has been deprecated and is not supported at this point - we recommend users move to the VelocityViewServlet in the Velocity-Tools project.

> Key: VELOCITY-233
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-233
> Project: Velocity
> Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Versions: 1.3.1
> Environment: Operating System: other
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: Jeremy Parsons
> Fix For: 1.5
>
> In the documentation that comes with Velocity 1.3.1
> (developer-guide.html#Using%20Velocity%20In%20Servlets) there is an Appendix 1
> : called "Deploying the Example Servlet" which has a number of flaws:
> 1) Deployment is not simple and error messages in the Catalina log are useless
> 2) There is no mention of web.xml so deployment will never work in Tomcat
> 3) The velocity documentation has no side by side examples of the code in the
> HTML template file and the Java servlet code that loads it. These two pieces
> talk to each other and are dependent on each other but the examples never make
> that link.
> 4) The Velocity documentation is almost completely devoid of examples of
> database access which is surely from where the greatest need for dynamic HTML
> pages comes.
