File Resource Loader

[Adam Cornett <ad...@gmail.com>]

I am implementing Velocity in a website and everything is going
fine...except I can't get it to load templates from inside java code.  For
example, one class e-mails a registration confirmation to a user, I have a
template that sends them a pretty html e-mail, however when I try to load
the template, I get a
org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException.  I have tried
several different fixes, from putting a copy of the template in every
reasonable directory, setting the file resource loader path... nothing
works.  Here is some of my code:

/* The function is called from a static method in a class via another
template located at /familyweekend/regapp/test_email.vm, with the template
file in the same directory. */
ExtendedProperties ep = new ExtendedProperties();
ep.setProperty("file.resource.loader.path", "/familyweekend/regapp,
/v_templates, .");
ep.setProperty("file.resource.loader.cache ", true);
ep.setProperty("file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval", 2);
ep.setProperty("resource.loader", "file");
VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
ve.setExtendedProperties(ep);
Template tem== ve.getTemplate(EMail_Template);    /* EMail_Template is a
String defined else where, and yes, its the right name */

And it throws the error everytime at the last line.  I have no idea what I'm
doing wrong, and I've read the online documentation several times and it
doesn't seem to help.

are you using one of the servlets we provide (like the VelocityViewServlet)?

what properties are you using to configure Velocity elsewhere?  the
properties that work to load the template that calls this static
method should work here too.

have you tried using the WebappLoader from VelocityTools?  it is more
user-friendly in a webapp setting.

That looks ok to me.

Could it be a capitalization or file permission issue?
