Velocity not finding the template... Urgent...
hii,
I am using Velocity-1.1 on RedHat 6.2.(rather trying to use), I so far were
working on jsp's and this is the first time i am trying velocity.
My web-app is in /home/saurabh/htdocs. I have got a template index.vm in
htdocs. ie /home/saurabh/htdocs/index.vm
getTemplate("index.vm") throws Resource not Found Exception.
getTemplate("/home/saurabh/htdocs/index.vm") also throws Resource not Found
Exception.(This ideally should not happen)!!!!!!!!!
How ever if i put index.vm in /home/saurabh/ Velocity finds my template.
Can any one please please please explain why is this happening ? Coz' if
this is the way velocity works then i'll have to shift to jsp asap.
Regards,
saurabh.

NEW YORK (Bloomberg) : Today, the Jakarta Velocity project of the Apache
Software Foundation announced that it was losing another paying customer.
In accordance with Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure), the directors of Jakarta
Velocity are required to make this information available to all investors.
"While we feel that the long term outlook remains strong", said committer
Geir Magnusson, "this will have a substantial impact in the near term due to
general softness in the sector."
Documents filed with the SEC indicate that losing that paying customer will
affect gross revenue for the current quarter, reducing projected gross
revenue to US$0, down from US$0. No information was given with respect to
net revenue or EBDITA.
"Coupled with this reduction in revenue, we foresee a marginal increase in
support costs", Magnusson said. "However, we still expect earnings in the
US$0.00 to US$0.00 range for the 3rd quarter given the strong interest in
the 1.2 release."

Aren't you afraid Jon?
Apache is loosing another "paying customer"!!!
=;o)
On 2nd thoughts, I guess he wants us to feel sorry for him because
he is going to go back to (argh) JSP.
Thinking about it, I already feel sorry. That is why I feel this
urge to give some advise to Saurabh (and others posting the same
kind of questions) about the sophisticated methodology one must
follow in order to use Velocity. (It also works for another Open
Source projects, but most of them do not have such good
documentation as Velocity.)
So, here goes the methodology - one just has to follow these steps
in order to solve any problem with the use of Velocity:
1. Read the excellent Velocity documentation;
2. For further doubts on "why are things this way" check the mail
archives;
3. For further doubts on "exactly how does this work", check the
source code;
4. When confused about one of the above steps, ask the list BUT
please take the previous steps. You must take at least the
step 1 and come up with smarter questions if you want us to
sympathize and help you - meaning that you must be willing to
help yourself first.
Want some extra feature?
- You can always do it yourself and (hopefully, if it is a nice
one) contribute it back to the project.
Want someone to baby-sit you effortlessly trough the whole process
of using Velocity?
- Hire (means PAY) some consultant that knows Velocity. I think
that Geir does consulting work.
=;o)
Remember: this is Open Source. Free as in free beer and free as in
free speech (although GNU sees it a bit different).
Have fun,
Paulo

Try reading the documentation first and then make 'threats' later.
