velocity.properties
Is there anyway we can set relative paths in this file ? This is the
only configuration file out of dozens that doesn't support this and its
making deployment a serious pain.
Or can I use environmental variables in this file ? That would work also.
If not - how much development would it take to get this to work ? It
might be worth it for us to contribute this to Velocity.
Thanks,
Charlie

Re: velocity.properties
Posted by Nathan Bubna <nb...@gmail.com>.
for VelocityTools 2 (the WebappResourceLoader), this would look like this:
resource.loader = webapp
webapp.resource.loader.class =
org.apache.velocity.tools.view.WebappResourceLoader
and would look for templates in the webapp's root. if you want to,
for instance, hide the templates in ${webappRoot}/WEB-INF/templates,
then do this:
webapp.resource.loader.path = /WEB-INF/templates/
multiple paths are supported, just like FileResourceLoader. caching
and reloading only work in an exploded WAR deployment, of course.
i've never compared performance, but it's really outside the concern
of the loader. the difference is that you are getting data from
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream() instead FileInputStream. so, to
compare performance would just be to compare getting resources from
your servlet container vs getting them direct from the file system. i
can't imagine there is a noteworthy difference.

You wouldn't happen to have a sample velocity.properties file using
WebappResourceLoader would you ?

Hey-- would love to see the ability to include system properties in
velocity.properties. I use that feature in log4j.properties all the time.
(Incidentally, it's always dangerous to credit individual authorship in an
open source project. Jason Van Zyl, Jon Stevens and Daniel Rall were the
original creators, with Geir following soon after.)

Ahh cool, Ill check that out. I know you're the author so its hard for you to present an unbiased view but are there any penalty performances moving to this loader ?

are you deploying to a servlet container? if so, then the
FileResourceLoader is not your friend. you should be using the
WebappLoader (aka WebappResourceLoader) that is part of the
VelocityTools project. It uses servlet context relative paths.

i don't think it would be all that hard to add support for including
environmental variables in the properties. you would pretty much just
watch for properties either coming in or going out of RuntimeInstance
for environment variables and do the replacement there. It would
probably be easiest to do this in RuntimeInstance#getProperty.
