resource not found

[Michael Oliver <ol...@alariussystems.com>]

I was breezing along, generating Hibernate config files from velocity
templates and all was well.

 

I had my velocity templates located in the classpath of the web app that was
doing the work at

/classes/com/alarius/datasource/Hibernate_cfg_xml.vm and I packaged the
working tested version up into a jar and deployed that into another web app
that would be doing that same thing.

 

VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();

ve.setProperty(VelocityEngine.RUNTIME_LOG_LOGSYSTEM, this);

ve.setProperty(Velocity.RESOURCE_LOADER, "class");

ve.setProperty("class.resource.loader.class","org.apache.velocity.runtime.re
source.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader");

VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();

.context values set..n/a

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();

                                                                        

try {

   ve.init();

     //remember to omit the leading slash as it will be looking in the
classpath

  ve.mergeTemplate("com/alarius/datasource/Hibernate_cfg_xml.vm",
Velocity.ENCODING_DEFAULT,context, sw);

} catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) {

   e.printStackTrace();

}                                   

 

Running the above yields:

 

 

org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find
resource 'com/alarius/datasource/Hibernate_cfg_xml.vm'

org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.ResourceManagerImpl.loadResource(Resour
ceManagerImpl.java:501)

org.apache.velocity.runtime.RuntimeInstance.getTemplate(RuntimeInstance.java
:814)

      at
org.apache.velocity.app.VelocityEngine.mergeTemplate(VelocityEngine.java:482
)

 

Not only did I try it with the jar file with the velocity templates in the
path starting at com/alarius, but I put the templates in the webapp
WEB-INF/classes/com/alarius/datasource/ directory as well.

 

The Classpath loader is defined and set in the velocity engine properties.

 

Any clues will be appreciated.
