Velocity under Resin and Windows 2000

[Rian Schmidt <ri...@finebrand.com>]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can clue me into any tricks required to get
Velocity (1.0.1) to locate a template under Windows (using Resin)?  I'm
trying to specify an absolute path so that I can place the webapp outside
the Resin directory.

I've tried setting the file.resource.loader.path in both the servlet and the
velocity.properties file, and I've tried 324 variations on
c:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot... and \inetpub\wwwroot... and so on... all with no
joy.  There are several references on the mailing list and docs to the
"current directory" when the loader path uses a '.' but I don't see how that
is specifically determined.  So a couple questions:

1) Can someone recommend a fairly fool-proof way to specify the template
path under Windows?

2) How is the "current directory" from which relative paths can be specified
as far as Velocity is concerned?

Thanks,
Rian

You've tried using front slashes instead of backslashes too? ... I got stuck
on that one for a while too .. ;)
