multiple resource.managers using VVS
Hello again.
If I define multiple resource.manager (say, webapp and url) and I am using
velocity in a servlet context, then I can choose which resource manager
that I use to retrieve which templates. Can this be done if I am using VVS?
Most of my templates are in the webapp, but ones that change 3 times a day
make it annoying to re-deploy a webapp all the time. (we don't have the
best deployment setup here) So I would like to be able to add the url
resource manager and get a few templates from another machine.
Is this possible? Thanks for the help.
Charlie

Does velocity automatically try the first one then the second?
That's the only part I wasn't sure of. I thought that I had to
specify which one came from which place. But if it tries 1 then
2 then I'm all set.
Thanks so much for all these tips.

We're currently doing this and it's pretty easy, just configure it in
velocity.properties:
resource.loader = webapp,file
file.resource.loader.description = Velocity File Resource Loader
file.resource.loader.class =
org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader
file.resource.loader.path = /path/to/templates
file.resource.loader.cache = true
file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 120
I'd recommend that you put whatever resource loader that handles the most
templates go first in the resource.loader line, as it's checked first.

Right - just deal w/ it when you configure velocity, like you would in
any other scenario

well, i've never used multiple resource managers myself, so if this is a
question about the limitations and possibilities in doing that, i can't help
you. but assuming this is something that works with Velocity (in singleton
mode) in general, then i can't see any reason this couldn't be made to work
with the VVS.
