Unabel to find template
Just included velocity into my own framework. All works ok, but when it's
time to render a template (I'm trying with the sample1) i just get:
Thu Jun 14 23:29:48 CEST 2001 [info] Velocimacro : adding VMs from VM
library template : VM_global_library.vm
Thu Jun 14 23:29:48 CEST 2001 [error] ResourceManager : unable to find
resource 'VM_global_library.vm' in any resource loader.
Thu Jun 14 23:29:48 CEST 2001 [info] Velocimacro : error using VM library

Thu Jun 14 23:29:57 CEST 2001 [error] ResourceManager : unable to find

I'm using Tomcat 3.2.
I put my template in the following locations webapps\iFrameTest,
webapps\iFrameTest\lib, webapps\iFrameTest\classes without any success (teh
template is correctly spelled).
BTW: I would like to see the locations in log where velocity tries to find
the template.
The velocity jar is in webapps\iFrameTest\lib with the following settings:
resource.loader = file
file.resource.loader.description = Velocity File Resource Loader
file.resource.loader.class =
org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader
file.resource.loader.path = .
file.resource.loader.cache = false
file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 2
Thanks in advance for any help.

No. As long as you don't put a 'naked Iterator' into the context, you
can iterate until the cows come home.
So if you use an object array ( ex String[]), a List, a Vector ,etc, all
will be fine.
Only when you put an Iterator into the context will you have a problem.
The reason is that the Iterator class as no 'reset'. So once you go to
the end, you are done.
For the other classes, Velocity will get a new iterator each time for a
#foreach() , so there is no problem.

That would help. :)
It would be a rare thing if you needed to drop in a solitary Iterator,
rather than a class that exposes a List interface or an array [].
We added it for the rare instance when all you have is an iterator...

List iterator - Use once only?
Posted by pat comcen <ps...@comcen.com.au>.
Can someonen enlighten me on this
iterate once only behaviour of Velocity?
Is it true that a list can only be iterated over once?
I'm sure this was discusseed at some point
though I couldn't find a mention in my
some 1,500 stash of Turbine/Velocity mails..
I suppose I need to understand exactly what an iterator
is..
Thankyou,

Re: avoiding linebreaks

I've found a nicer desing-pattern for joining that avoids
the #if in favour of a #set that does not depend on the
velocity count:
#macro( join $list $sep )#set( $s_ = "" )
#foreach( $elem_ in $list )$s_$elem_#set( $s_ = $sep )#end
#end
And you use it as:
#join($elems, ",")

ouch!
isnt there a more readable way?
i am doing a lot of java-generator and python-generator
programming. if have to code all those generators
that way, its simply not reusable nor changeable.
there was a proposol concerning whitespaces in velo.
what about that?

New to Velocity myself...

I was reading this thinking "Hm, interesting, but it seems like a
band-aid for having so much business/application logic in the
templates...."
Have you switched to Velocity?

Re: avoiding linebreaks
Posted by Joaquim Ramos de Carvalho <jr...@bookmarc.pt>.
My company created a small template language for bibliographic
applications where this problem was very important. The way we handled
it was by two special commands (the syntax is different, I am putting it
as they would look in velocity)
1)
#output(arg) where arg is "on", "off", "hold" or "restore".
#ouput(off) would cancel any output from the template. Purely
computational sequences would be "executed" without any output.
For example:
#output(off)
## holding off ouput to avoid blank lines from inside the loop
#for ($elem in $elements)
## this is just a method call, no interesting output
$elem.translate($userLanguage)
#end
#output (on)
This would produce a single line break after the line (#output(on))
#output(hold) and #output(restore) function like a push and pop of the
current "output" state. This allows macros or inserted templates to save
the current output state (from the calling template), change it if they
need to and them restoring it back to the original state.
The other command is #echo which overrides the current output state for
a single statement.
For example:
#output(off)
#for ($elem in $elems)
#echo( $elem)
#end
#output(on)
would produce the value of each $elem and a single linebreak after
#output(on)
#echo makes it easier to handle situations where you want to avoid most
of the output and it would be awkward to be using #output(on)
#output(off) .
This is not a feature request, just a note on how the problem was
handled in a similar situation. Note,however that an addition of this
type would be backwards compatible with existing templates.
In fact in the usage we make of Velocity linebreaks are not a problem
because we keep logic to a minimum in templates and push things to
context objects. In our in house template language the templates had
heavy logic and thus could produce dozens of blank lines -- hence the
output/echo solutionm which is in fact was a sympton of poor
Logic/presentation separation.

The simplest way to avoid linebreaks in
velocity is to escape them with a #* comment *#.
#for ($elem in $elems)#*
*#$elem#*
*##end
I have proposed previously to enhance the whitespace
handling to make any standalone directive (with
whitespaces around it and nothing else) to not emit
anything to the output. Currently #end and #set
directives gobble up only trailing whitespaces
including the EOL.
This would change the behaviour of current templates,
but would be much more consistent and desireable.

Best thing to do then is this:
#for ($elem in $elems)$elem#end
Not as readable, but does the trick.
There was some discussion about this previously in the archives, you may
want to check them.

The ResourceLoader.java must emit an error when it can't find a template
because it's assumed that when it's asked, someone really wants one,
rather than it being a suggestion.
Further, it can't really tell that it's the VM Factory trying to set up.
I see your point that the output is kind of bothersome, so we can clean
up the output from VMFactory so it isn't so scary. Just dropping the
default value might cause problems for people that depend on it, so we
probably don't want to do that.

Looking at the source, it seems that VM_global_library.vm is loaded
together with other templates, so we can't discriminate it from the
others. However, is being unable to load a template really a 'failure'?
Seems to me that logging a warning would be enough.

Yes, we can throw an exception, as init() will throw.

I was thinking that as I wrote it, but once inside the engine, it can't
figure out if it is the 'default' value of the VM lib, or a user
specified one.
Point noted - at least the message should look less scary.

No - that is the default filename if you want to have Velocimacros
loaded at startup automatically so any template can use them.
If the file isn't found, it squawks about it, but there is no harm done.

It can't, and we don't want it to - because Velocity is not just for
servlets - if we did things like that internally, it would tie Velocity
to servlets too tightly.
Another easy way is to use the JarResourceLoader to load templates from
specific jars, or the ClasspathResourceLoader to automatically load from
jars in WEB-INF/lib (my favorite... no config...)

Good - some people mess with the defaults, and get into trouble - they
are there to guarantee a value for all parts of Velocity so it can come
up working if you don't specify any props yourself.

i see the point, for my own stuff i'm working with getRealPath() - i
wrongliy assumed that velocity did something similar (i had the same problem
with the logfile).
About the default properties - they are stored in the jar file.
I read the properties by my own (with getRealPath()).

Do you see what the default implementation of loadConfiguration does
when it uses getRealPath() to find the properties file?
The problem may be that when you fill the j.u.Properties with stuff to
return to VelocityServlet.init(), that you are using relative paths.
Velocity needs absolute paths. So what I like to do is use
getRealPath() to turn the paths relative to my webroot into absolute
paths.
The example/servlet_example2/SampleServlet2.java shows how to do this.

This is exactly what's happening - the paths are still relative, and you
are therefore setting everything relative to where you *start tomcat*.
> Fri Jun 15 12:39:16 CEST 2001 [info] [info] Default Properties File:

It also appears that it *can't* find the properties file - this is the
defaults that are included in the jar - they shouldn't be altered. Make
sure you do the getRealPath() technique as well. Just see what the
default impl does, and SampleServlet2.java does.

I am not sure if you are hardwiring the property in your servlet, or
modified the in-jar props file...
But it appears that it's not using an external file...

Hello Geir,
thanks for your response.
1) using velocity-1.1-rc2
2) I'm using my servlet (controller) which invokes by a worker the sample1
template. I'm overloading
loadConfiguration and return the properties to velocity.
I found out, that velocity takes as root
- tomcat/bin when started Tomcat via startup.bat
- kawa when started from within for debugging
if managed to display sample1.vm with appropriate settings of loader path
'../webapps/iFrameTest/templates' and started Tomcat directly. With
'iFrameTest/templates' the the template would not be found, even if it's in
WEB_INF/classes or WEB_INF/lib
How do i manage that velocity takes the application context as root ?

Heh - you cut off the critical part of the log - the top. That would
tell us what the template path is set to. Along with that it would help
to have
1) what version of velocity
2) what you are using as your servlet - are you using the sample servlet
found in examples/servlet_example1, or examples/servlet_example2?
servlet_example2 should be autoconfiguring in tomcat 3.2 - you just
start things up and it will setup the webapp root in the template

I think this is your error. You don't seem to be putting your templates in
"." but rather in "lib".

Re: re-initialize velocity.

We have an init() method for our component-based system to reload its
components and reread it's config. You can trigger it from a secure XML-RPC
call. One of our components uses Velocity and it would be nice to be able to
reconfigure the Velocity engine in that component this way. Without the
reset(), we have to bring down the system and bring it back up again.

It's possible. We could add a reset() method that tosses everything,
and then you do the whole init cycle over.

re-initialize velocity.
Posted by Andreas Wikberger <an...@blink.se>.
Hello,
We are using velocity as a template-engine in a publishing system with a
lots of different components. Velocity is one of many services in our
system.
What we want to do is to re-initialize/restart velocity without having to
restart the hole system, that is to be able to use the system with the
other services as they are configured and only restart the velocity
service with a new configuration. From what I have seen/tested it seems
impossible to do this because that Runtime.init() always checks the initialized
boolean if it is to be initialized or not. And I have not found any way to
set that boolean so the Runtime.init() will initialize.
Is there any possibilities to make a re-initialize of velocity?
