How to get velocity templates to reload

["florin.g" <fl...@bytenotes.com>]

I've spent a couple of hours trying to get it work and also looked online
with no results.

I am running Click 1.5 on jetty6. The 'webapp/click/VM_global_library.vm' is
not being read no matter what. What works is the 'webapp/macro.vm' file. But
it does not reload even if I use my own velocity.properties file with the
following configuration:

#velocimacro.library=/macro.vm
velocimacro.library.autoreload = true

class.resource.loader.cache = false
#class.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 1

file.resource.loader.cache = false
#file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 1

The velocity.properties in located in WEB-INF/. It does not have any other
items.

Thanks for any clues.

Hi Florin,

macro.vm will override VM_global_library.vm:
http://click.sourceforge.net/docs/click-api/net/sf/click/service/VelocityTemplateService.html

If you want to use VM_global_library.vm you'll need to remove macro.vm 
from the webapp. However I would just go with macro.vm as its more 
intuitive.

That said it looks like we have a bug with global macro reloading. 
I've sync'd with the latest Velocity Tools resource loader and it 
solves the issue.

The latest version of the resource loader is here:
http://click.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/click/trunk/click/framework/src/org/apache/velocity/tools/view/servlet/WebappLoader.java?revision=3582

Thanks.

bob

For now I think we should leave it as is for two reasons:

#1 It would break backwards compatibility if folk had overridden setters.
#2 Java 7 might solve this for us by implicitly returning 'this' from 
void methods.


kind regards

Thank you so much. Your prompt answers could not be more timely. 

Regarding 'setter' chaining, can we look forward some day or just accept it
as is. Certainly, I am grateful for the framework with or without.
